Dear Mr. President....

I just wanted to applaud your stance on holding true to your moral standing. It is the rare man who stands firm by his own beliefs in the tide of dissention.

To sacrifice cells in order to advance research that has the potential to save and enrich millions of lives is out of line, sir. You were so right so save those "small collection of cells".

Never mind the child who has cancer that will shorten his life span to a mere 6 years.

Never mind the adult with MS who can't support his family because he's too weak and in severe pain to work.

Never mind the woman with Alzeimers who sees a family member standing in front of her, but can't make out whether they're her brother, sister, husband, or daughter.

Never mind the child who shakes and sweats and looks pleadingly into his mother's eyes as she makes him drink juice so as to avoid him slipping into diabetic coma.

Never mind those people, and millions of others with millions of other life debilitating and life threatening chronic conditions and diseases.

Small collections of cells are what we have to preserve against the moral corruptness of scientific research. Nevermind the millions of American people you claim to hold dear to your heart.

Sincerely,
A Moral American Mother
