I wanted to voice my concern about the biased and misleading article printed in The State News about stem cell research (Selling cells, SN 10/8). Nowhere in this article did the writer cite the remarkable fact that more than 73 real treatments and medical advances have come from adult stem cell research, while not a single medical advance has come from embryonic stem cell research. Moreover, there are major problems with embryonic stem cell research. In animal testing, there have been numerous instances of tissue rejection and tumor formation. I would refer you to micause.com to educate yourself further on the issue.

Especially with an election drawing near, it is absolutely imperative for news sources to provide a complete, unbiased view of the issues, and The State News failed horribly. I strongly urge you to print a story as soon as possible that gives a full perspective of this issue so that your readers might have a real understanding of this issue before the election.
