President Obama made a very important decision regarding research on embryonic stem cells. Unlike President Bush, Obama opened the doors in order for the research to start, with federal and private dollars. According to the President, "Promoting science isn't just about providing resources, it is also about protecting free and open inquiry. It is about letting scientists like those here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient especially when it's inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology." Now there is new hope for those who suffer from diseases such as diabetes and alzheimer; this new research can even provide a cure for paralysis. Of course, the opposition believes this is an unethical matter and it causes more division within our country. In my opinion, I believe President Obama made a great decision. This new research will open the doors to many scientist in order to find cures. I personally know persons with diabetes and alzheimer's and if this new research can help them, then I see nothing wrong with it. The opposition just has their own agenda, not allowing them to see the positive side of the research. What can be more miraculous than curing your sister or your father from any of the diseases that up to know have no known cure. I don't know any one yet who doesn't want to find a cure.
