Stem Cell Basics
This primer on stem cells is intended for anyone who wishes to learn more about the biological properties of stem cells, the important questions about stem cells that are the focus of scientific research, and the potential use of stem cells in research and in treating disease. The primer includes information about stem cells derived from embryonic and non-embryonic tissues. Much of the information included here is about stem cells derived from human tissues, but some studies of animal-derived stem cells are also described.
The NIH developed this primer to help readers understand the answers to questions such as:

International Stem Cell Research
The International Stem Cell Forum (ISCF) is made up of 14 leading funders of stem cell research from around the world. It was founded in January 2003 to encourage international collaboration and funding support for stem cell research, with the overall aim of promoting global good practice and accelerating progress in this vitally important area of biomedical science.
The International Society for Stem Cell Research is an independent, nonprofit organization established to promote and foster the exchange and dissemination of information and ideas relating to stem cells, to encourage the general field of research involving stem cells and to promote professional and public education in all areas of stem cell research and application.
The UK Medical Research Council sponsors the UK Stem Cell Bank, which is responsible for storing, characterizing, and supplying ethically approved, quality-controlled stem cell lines for medical research and treatment.

politics
http://www.thedailyshow.com/
One of my favorite people in the world Jon Stewart he is funnier than hell and preaches a less extreme form of politics for both democrats and republicans I don’t think anything is going to change though because of all the people who appose moderation. I have never been a fan of left or right wing extremists. I have seen both points of view and the one I do not care for in the least is the Republican Party simply because they are not in touch with the people and tend to oppose any kind of change.
if it weren’t for J.W.B.'s paranoia or rather that of the republicans, stem cell research would be much further than it is and we would have cures for diseases people who were paralyzed in car accidents might gain there mobility back. Its people like him who are misinformed and brainwashed by Hollywood films who hold back progress at there own expense and that of others.

a dime a dozen
When I look back on the past few years, I seem to think about only the despicable things like what has hurt me and who has tried to hurt me. All I can say to keep myself going is it will get better and for a time it works and I forget the nastiness in life temporarily of cores. Then life’s little hardships show up again, that is why when I was ten years old I came up with some guidelines or little sayings for life

- Never look down on others because more than likely they are looking down on you
- Love is fleeting but lasts when you have it
- Out of all the rarities in life finding some one who cares is among the hardest things to find
- You are only mortal so live life, don’t dwell in the past other wise life will pass you bye
- don’t impose your self on others unless you want drama
- Trying to teach some one who is stubborn never works out they have to learn the hard way even if they end up killing them selves
- You don’t know your body as well as you think you do so don’t keep old eating habits you will only get diabetes or die sooner rather than later
- Options are just that unless they are hard fact so don’t let a disagreement ruin a friend ship or your day
- Everyone has there own intelligence so no one is stupid just focused on one aspect of life so you might be able to learn something from them
- Unless you are a doctor don’t act like one because more than likely you are wrong
- a lot of autism is misdiagnosed because people just want an explanation for things they don’t like in them selves or others
- ADD is very common just like ADHD so do your self a favor stop buying energy drinks and candy for five year olds they don’t need a pick me up
- No matter who you are we all have a lot of growing up to do some more than others
- Some parents are to immature to be respected by there children
- Just because you are older dose not mean you are wiser some 5 year olds are wiser than 90 year old adults
- a life time of experience can be had in just a few moments
- no matter how old you are cartoons are still fun to watch that includs anime
