Letter to Representative Melissa Olson & Senator Edith Prague

In Consideration of Stem Cell Research

To: Senator Prague and Representative Olson
Date: Friday, February 04 2005

Dear Senator Prague and Representative Olson:

Stem cell research has the potential to treat a variety of health problems and to improve the quality of life for many Connecticut residents. It will also bring scientific innovation and economic development to our area.

I urge you to commit to stem cell research in Connecticut and to affirm out state's dedication to reproductive choice.

~ Return to "What'd She Say Now!"

Much has been said about the ethical and, perhaps, medical dilemmas of stem cell research. As with any discovery or technology that has the potential to trigger a paradigm shift, the possibilities that successful stem cell research may bring will challenge us; to rethink and reaffirm our commitment to ethical, fair and compassionate behavior.

But this kind of challenge has been met many times before, and can be so again. We are a strong and caring people. We will figure this out.

Please join me and Planned Parenthood of Connecticut in supporting stem cell research in our state.
