Genetics Policy Institute

GPI is dedicated to preventing human reproductive cloning while preserving therapeutic cloning (SCNT) around the globe. GPI sponsors international projects and educational programs relating to the law and regulation of reproductive cloning, SCNT therapeutic cloning and stem cell research.  They have been instrumental in preventing anti-research treaties worldwide.

Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures

Sponsor, Missouri Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative

Learn about the referendum that created a Missouri State Constitutional Amendment.  Passed by a majority vote in the November general election, this guarantees that stem cell research, treatments, therapies and cures will be legal and available in Missouri to the full extent allowed by federal law.  Notably, the measure also provides oversight and public information access, specifies legal safeguards and ethical guidelines including the ban of human reproductive cloning as well as strict penalties for violations.

The Coalition’s web site includes a wealth of general stem cell information and their remarkable “who’s who” endorsement list of individuals, organizations, medical practitioners, Nobel Prize winners, associations and institutions.  The Coalition has membership of over 60,000 Missourians, the largest ever assembled for a ballot initiative in the state.

People of Faith For Stem Cell Research

An online resource providing religious perspectives of many faiths.  Also includes an online petition to Bush explaining that not all religious people oppose stem cell research.  Over 10,000 signatures collected, sorted by state.  Find your friends, add your name.

National Institutes of Health

Web site of the governmental body which controls the embryonic stem cell lines that qualify for federal funding.  When Bush announced his limitations in 2001, it was believed that more than 60 lines were available.  Unfortunately, the NIH reports that due to contamination, only 10 lines or so retain sufficient purity for clinical research. Still, the NIH provides a wealth of information. (This is also where many researchers order their embryonic stem cell material.)

Stem Cell Battles

Our friend (and perhaps the hardest working stem cell citizen advocate in the U.S.), Don Reed, provides a chronicle of his fight to advance stem cell research.  The reports include personal issues of the Reed family, as well as information on political struggles at all levels of government.  If you ever think “it can’t be done” you need to read Don’s writings.
