AAAS letter to President Bush

re discarded every day in private clinics throughout the country. Under these circumstances, it would be tragic to squander this opportunity to pursue work that can potentially help millions of Americans in need.

We understand that you have asked Secretary Thompson and the Department of Health and Human Services to undertake a review of government policy regarding stem cell research. We support such a review, and would welcome the opportunity to assist the Secretary in securing the most up-to-date scientific data and best expert opinion on the state of the science and its likely development in the years ahead. It is critical that policy be crafted to provide hope to the many sufferers of disease and disability as well as their families. Moreover, any policy that is developed should be in proportion to the seriousness of the concerns raised so that it does not create unwarranted barriers to realizing potential benefits. Thank you for your careful and thoughtful consideration of this matter.

Sincerely,

Mary L. Good
