Position statementsStatement on stem cell researchStem cells offer a new and exciting avenue of medical research that may revolutionise the future treatment of MND as well as a great number of other degenerative conditions. The Association recognises that the issues of embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning raise significant moral, ethical and religious concerns. However, in principle we will support stem cell research, as long as we are satisfied that it is legal, has a sound scientific rationale and has the potential to bring us closer to treatments and/or a cure for MND. |
