Living with Diabetes and Lapband

The Diabetes OC is astir right now over the current Congressional votes on embryonic stem cell research.

I'm personally against the federal government supporting embryonic stem cell research.

I believe that other stem cell research shows much more promise and needs to be researched long before we go so far as embryonic stem cell research.

Already, embryonic stem cell research has crossed ethical boundaries -- results have been falsied, etc. and I think its just something to completely stay away from until all other research has been exhausted.

I also don't think you are going to get very far with transplants, or other replacements of the pancreas until you find out why the body is destroying beta cells in the first place.
