mr. speaker , a family invests their embryos . 
they are not going to save them for 1 , 000 years . 
some of those embryos cryogenically deteriorate so they are going to discard those embryos . 
others are just thrown down the toilet because someone does not want them anymore . 
those are the embryos that we can use for stem cell research , only the ones that are going to be thrown away . 
if there are 400 , 000 , then we will use 400 , 000 . 
if there are only 10 , we will use 10 unless they can be adopted , which i also support in this bill . 
people say that there has been no research . 
if you take a look in animals , they have actually saved spinal cords in animals , in heart , in alzheimer 's , but they just have not done it in humans . 
there is potential , both for adult and embryonic stem cell . 
i have been here 15 years and i am 100 percent prolife , 100 percent . 
this is an issue of life to me . 
i had a 6-year-old in the committee that said , duke , you 're the only person who can save my life . 
do you have a child with diabetes ? 
do you have a child with other diseases that could be prevented ? 
then you would support this . 
i am for life and i am for the quality of life , but i do not want another 6-year-old to die . 
i opposed the california bill . 
it went too far . 
i do not support cloning , but i want to save life . 
we are this close to stopping juvenile diabetes . 
there are other embryos that are tainted so bad that you would not implant those and they want to study those so that they can stop those childhood diseases . 
but you can not look a child in the eye when the only chance they have to live is this research .
