Someday someone you know, a friend, a neighbor, or even family member will come down with an incurable illness.....and you'll ask the doctor " what can be done?''...and he'll shrug his shoulders and say "nothing". Wouldn't you rather he say " I have something here that will cure the problem"................................................The American Heart Association funds meritorious research involving stem cells.

Why does the Association support stem cell research?

Stem cell research offers great promise. It could be used to develop dramatic new procedures and techniques to reverse degenerative heart disease. For example, it may help generate new, healthy heart tissue, valves and other vital tissues and structures. About 128 million people suffer from diseases that might be cured or treated through stem cell research. About 58 million of these people suffer from cardiovascular disease.
