Recenzii
Whatever constitutes one's point of view about embryonic stem cells, everyone agrees they are at the center of strong and emotional debate. Solo and Pressberg, president and stem cell advocacy specialist respectively at the Civil Society Institute, note how political reactions to the means and intentions of this research has recreated politics aside from traditional ideological and party lines and created some hitherto unlikely partners. They also describe the new ways in which researchers, patients, and those who feel they may be potential patients are advocating for government funding.
There is a growing and grassroots demand for action at the federal level on stem cell research. This is a core lesson of the 2006 mid-term election: People want this research to go forward and politicians will be rewarded for taking a clear and unambiguous stand on the issue. This reflects the fact that stem cell research is not a 'right' or 'left' issue--it is something that mainstream America wants to see happen.
