Steven Heller: To Bond and Brand

How absurd to think that one man - indeed one president - can control
medical destiny with the flick of a pen. How tragic it is when
governed by misguided beliefs and skewed ideals this man - indeed

We should have the right to choose to develop medicine and protocols so that our children and grandchildren can be spared pain, disfigurement, or even death. There are treatments and cures that are possible, based on the basic cellular functions that already sustain and support our bodily functions. Without using these curative scientific approaches that exist, our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, wives, husbands and friends will continue to live with devastating conditions that are directly treatable through Stem Cell therapy.
