Dear Editor: I am an American, a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend. And I am a liberal. I am all these things and more, and I am living with an incurable, deadly disease. I have cystic fibrosis.
….Embryonic stem cells could provide treatments or cures for many diseases, not just cystic fibrosis. I want to ask you: How you can promise to fight for the lives of people who do not exist yet, and look living citizens in the eye and not fight for their lives?
