From The Desk Of Tom Nichols:

   First of all allow me to thank you for visiting The Global Medical Research Fund's website... We support blastocystic, umbilical cord stem cell, and genetic research for the simple reason that it is the compassionate thing to do!   Combined these methods will change the future of medical research.   This is why we work so hard--to change the future of the handicapped, and disabled.  To facilitate their return to the workforce-- The United States needs a strong workforce combined with people coming off SSI, and welfare as they can return to work.   This is a recipe for success--Employment created as the infrastructure is built, and maintained.  Medical costs will plummet as actual cures are discovered for those suffering from diabetes, blindness, Alzheimer's, kidney and liver disease, heart ailments, cancer, and a whole plethora of other ailments which plaque the human race.

These are our goals, yes they are lofty, but they are doable in the near future!  With the funding of stem cells derived from blastocysts, and umbilical cords combined with genetic research all of these goals are right around the corner... All we need to do is band together and produce funding.
