I'll be honest and admit that I'm a person who might be helped, but there are millions like me waiting for that magic cure.

Um, "magic" is right. In view of the fact that embryonic stem cells so far have a track record of zero cures -- though an impressive track record of growing into teratomas instead of the hoped-for cure, it's unclear why you think they offer you hope.

This site lists some of the clinical trials now ongoing for adult stem cell therapies. I'd include a list for ESC therapies, but there are none -- none of the experiments come close to justifying a clinical trial.

Unless you feel your condition could be helped by a teratoma, your "faith" is touching indeed.

So if some researcher solved the current problems with embryonic stem cells and opened the door to possible treatments, you’d support lifting the ban right?
