Mr. Speaker, I have another petition. I rise on behalf of approximately 60 petitioners who are concerned about debilitating illnesses and diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, muscular dystrophy and spinal cord injury.
The petitioners call upon the House to encourage the use of non-embryonic stem cells, which are also known as adult stem cells and have shown significant research progress without the immune rejection or ethical problems associated with embryonic stem cells.
