If you're looking for a way to make your stance on stem cell research heard, the NIH is accepting comments to its Draft Guidance ....
Here's more info from the agency itself.
Recently the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released draft guidelines which create a framework for federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. Pursuant to the President’s Executive Order, issued on March 9, 2009, these guidelines establish policy and procedures under which NIH will fund research in this area; and ensure all research is conducted in accordance with applicable law, is ethically responsible, and is scientifically worthy.
Over the next few weeks the public has the opportunity to comment on these draft guidelines, and NIH will be analyzing the content, as well as volume, of the comments as it finalizes the guidelines. While the executive order is a giant leap forward in terms of federal research, there are a number of areas where the guidelines need to be clarified and/or changed to ensure that current research is allowed to continue and no new bureaucratic hurdles are created that would slow the pace of progress.

Tina, thank you for such an important issue. I teach for the University a course on Ethics and Technology and for anyone trying to understand the ethical implications behind Embryonic Stem Research, I highly recommend the book written by Doctor Francis Collins, MD: "The Language Of God" Dr Collins was the Director of the Human Genome Project which put together the 60,000-page report on this issue during the Clinton administration. His book walks the reader through the whole issue about stem cell research, not just embryonic, but other options.

I find it interesting, and encouraging, that this Administration is making an effort to gather public opinion on such an important, albeit ethically challenging, issue. Interesting, because I am skeptical about how much our Federal bureaucracy will actually take public opinion to heart, emphasis on bureaucracy. And encouraging, because the public is being led to believe that our opinion really does count, emphasis on "led to believe." Yes, I'm a die-hard skeptic.
Thank you for sharing this important piece of information!
