Gordon H. Smith Quotes

Embryonic stem cell research has the potential to alleviate so much suffering. Surely, by working together we can harness its life-giving potential.

I wholeheartedly support umbilical stem cell research, but also support embryonic stem cell research.

Mr. Speaker, the scientific evidence is overwhelming that embryonic stem cells have great potential to regenerate specific types of human tissues, offering hope for millions of Americans suffering from debilitating diseases.

Stem cells are probably going to be extremely useful.

There is just no sensible, logical reason why we would not make use of stem cell research.

Through their work with fetal tissue, researchers hope to find ways to harness embryonic stem cells which have the ability to become any type of human cell and could provide new treatments for many illnesses.

More important is the fact that embryonic stem cell research could lead to new treatments and cures for the many Americans afflicted with life-threatening and debilitating diseases.

Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.

Now science has presented us with a hope called stem cell research, which may provide our scientists with many answers that have for so long been beyond our grasp.

Science has provided us with an alternative called stem cell research …. We’ve lost so much time already and I really can’t bear to wait anymore.

Stem cell research has the greatest promise of any scientific development.

Well, there are two kinds of stem cells: adult stem cells, which you can get from any part of a grown body, and embryonic stem cells. These are the inner- core of days-old embryos that can develop into any kind of cell.

Scientists have stated that embryonic stem cells provide the best opportunity for devising unique treatments of these serious diseases since, unlike adult stem cells, they may be induced to develop into any type of cell.

Stem cell research holds out the promise of finding cures and treatments for a wide range of diseases.

Stem cell research can revolutionize medicine, more than anything since antibiotics.

We need stem-cell research, no question about it. It is absolutely crucial for moving our medical science forward. We are trying to harness an untapped source of energy that can provide cures and possibly even prevent disease and suffering.

I am all for stem cell research.

I support stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research.

We have a responsibility to promote stem cell research which could lead to treatments and cures for diseases affecting millions of Americans.

Stem cell research holds enormous promise for easing human suffering, and federal support is critical to its success.

To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.

Most of the scientific community believes that for the full potential of embryonic stem cell research to be reached, the number of cell lines readily available to scientists must increase.

I'm the chief science officer of a foundation that works on the application of regenerative medicine to the problem of aging.

There are no bona fide treatments available for embryonic stem cells. There is nothing in the laboratory, and there is certainly nothing in the clinics available to patients.

Both in Britain and America, huge publicity has been given to stem cells, particularly embryonic stem cells, and the potential they offer. Of course, the study of stem cells is one of the most exciting areas in biology, but I think it is unlikely that embryonic stem cells are likely to be useful in healthcare for a long time.
