Supports Stem Cell
File this under the “What is good for the goose is good for the gander,” file. Maryland Senatorial candidate Michael Steel turns the tide on Michael J. Fox for the calumny that opponents of cloning and giving Big Biotech a blank check for embryonic stem cell research don’t care about helping suffering people.
It is worth noting that patients’ own adult blood stem cells, in Stage 2 human trials—meaning that it is not yet ready for clinical use—have prevented progressive MS from worsening. This is not a cure but it is a huge potential breakthrough in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, and it has nothing to do with ESCR or cloning.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
