Dr Victor Dzau on Stem Cells for Cardiac Repair.

(Part 6 of 7) Bill Johnston, a Huntington's disease patient advocate, and Virginia Mattis, a postdoctoral fellow at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center, spoke at "Synapses Firing: Connections Made", a patient advocacy event hosted by the California stem cell funding agency (CIRM). The 100+ people in attendance heard from patient advocates about living with neurodegenerative disease and from scientists about recent progress in stem cell research that may lead to new treatments. The event was held on May 7th, 2011 at UC-Irvine's Sue and Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center.

Life in the Balance: Perspectives on Stem Cell Research

In this George Mason University video, Karol Boudreaux of the Mercatus Center hosts a group of panelists in a discussion about the ethical debates that engulf cloning and stem cell research. When President Bush announced in 2001 his decision to allow federal funds to be used for research on stem cells, he made two other striking comments. Stating his decision was based partly on the fact that 'stem cells have the ability to regenerate themselves indefinitely' he said he's 'strongly opposed to human cloning.' How do we separate the stem cell research debate from debate over human cloning and genetic screening
