Like Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinsons, I also have been hoping that stem cell research will yield new hope in finding cures for chronic diseases, including my own. Unlike him, however, I have steadfastly opposed using embryonic stem cells, the cells obtained from destroying living human embryos. President Obama recinded Bush's ban on Federal funding of the research, proving to me that he could care less about destroying human life in the name of research.
Fox is on a book tour, but on his stop at Oprah, Dr. Oz offered some great news that would surprise this "optimist" of embryonic stem cell research.
Thanks to Dr. Oz for clearing the air on this. Hopefully, more people will open their eyes to the benefits of adult stem cell research.
