Study: Stem Cell Research Would Help Michigan

The Detroit Free Press: The study, which Michigan Prospect commissioned before the ballot initiative, looked at seven common illnesses that embryonic stem cells could potentially treat: Type I diabetes, Parkinson's disease, acute heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury and Lou Gehrig's disease. More than 770,000 people in Michigan had those illnesses in 2006, said lead author Allen Goodman, Wayne State University economics professor. Advances derived from the research could shave an estimated $80 million off the $8-billion annual treatment costs, he said. Treatments from the research also could ease the burden on Medicaid by nearly $40 million per year, he said. In 2004, the state spent $7.7 billion on the program. Relaxed restrictions on embryonic stem cell research would create about 443 well-paying jobs, Goodman said, and 354 jobs in other sectors as a result. The study was funded by foundations, unions, and education groups, including Michigan Citizens for Embryonic Stem Cell Research and Cures, which predates the stem cell ballot initiative.

Superior site. Nice writing comments system. Apologies for the off-topic post, nevertheless I had been extremely amazed with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Australia OPen this yr. The guy is probably unbeatable. He exhibited he had been as formidable as stainlesss steel. Just imagine about he he could whip Nadal who had previously been so enthusiastic to win and was really so excited up during the 5th set. Now i’m beginning to think that Djokovic is doing some faith based work to take some forces on his side to help him secure this kind of matches against the best players in the globe
