California is acting to help the millions people across the world who suffer from diseases stem cell research may cure. In 2004 we voted by a majority to create and fund the Calfornia Institute for Renegerative Medicine, a stem cell research facility.
To all of you who are ill, or have family and friends who are ill I say this: Hang on, California is on the way!
http://www.curesforcalifornia.com/page.php?id=123It is important to note that Proposition 71:
- created the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) to manage and fund stem cell research in California.
- formed the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee to oversee the CIRM.
- established a peer review process that makes sure that research funds are given in a way that is fair and effective.
- requires research that it funds to be conducted safely and ethically, and within strict rules that protect patient safety, rights and privacy.
- keeps the public informed of their activities and decisions through audits, open meetings, public hearings and annual reports.
- forbids funding for human reproductive cloning, and added a ban on human reproductive cloning to the California constitution.
- will help California’s economy by funding research that could significantly reduce future healthcare costs in the state, in addition to creating thousands of new jobs that will generate new state tax revenues.
