Respected sir,

The nephrons can be created artificially for the kidney failure. Today we find that nearly 1/4th of the people in this world are subjected to kidney diseases so early and they die so. Some injectable nephrons can be made so that the loss of nephron functions can be balanced. I think so we can use this to alleviate the kidney failure in the early stage.

For several reasons, I want taxes to be lavished on stem cell research. Being orphaned is very hard on children. Replacing organs of parents will be so wonderful. I saw a video of a man who lost the first joint of a finger. The cell treatment made it grow back, COMPLETE with the nail. As people grow older, it would be so nice to have a new heart instead of being hooked to oxygen, or to be able to bike after getting new leg parts. I thank Mrs. Reagan for endorsing cell research that might have helped her husband. If members of Congress read these comment pages, I hope they discover lots of requests to use taxes for cell research.
