Stem cell research has become an issue in the presidential campaign. Three years ago, President Bush limited federal funding of embryonic stem cell research to the 78 stem cell lines in existence on Aug. 9, 2001. His Democratic challenger, Senator John F. Kerry, has promised to give scientists more freedom. The religious right opposes the scientific work in which the culling of stem cells kills the embryos, equating that with abortion. Scientists and proponents, including former first lady Nancy Reagan and 58 Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, say embryonic stem cells have the ability to turn into all the cell types found in the body and have the potential to repair or replace cells destroyed by disease and provide cures for diabetes, Alzheimer's, and other diseases.
