5 thoughts on “Organizations Supporting Embryonic Stem Cell Research

  1. I was just researching National Multiple Sclerosis Society for my own decision about participation in a fundraiser. Sadly, they confirmed that they do in fact support research utilizing Embryonic and Adult Stem Cells. They are not, according to their online “chat” personnel, member of the above mentioned Alliance for Regenerative Medicine. I think you should remove that stipulation above your list so this list to be more complete, to include those such as the National MS Society who deal in embryonic stem cell research though are not a member of that ONE organization. I would be happy to forward the documents that I requested NMSS send to me if it would help add them to your list.

  2. I am quite sure this is not an exhaustive list. The American Cancer Society is not on it, but I just read that they do support embryonic stem cell research, and have in the past (they deny that they still do) supported Planned Parenthood.

  3. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis is actively involved in human embryonic stem cell research, as is Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory University, the American Heart Association, and the American Stroke Association.
