mr. speaker , i am a big supporter of stem cell research .  but i do not support the dissecting and destruction of living human embryos to do so .  steve johnson from reading , pennsylvania , agrees with me .  a bicycle incident , an accident , he had 11 years ago replaced his bike with a wheelchair .  he has heard that embryonic stem cells might help him walk again .  for steve , though , that is unacceptable , using embryos .  the way that h.r. 810 would find those cells is through the destruction of ivf living embryos .  he and his wife , kate , adopted his daughter , zara , as an embryo from an ivf clinic when she was just a frozen embryo .  and h.r. 810 would have killed zara as an embryo for her stem cells .  there are 20 others like this child here in town today -- the `` snowflakes '' -- babies who developed from embryos given by their biological parents to a couple unable to conceive on their own .  if h.r. 810 were law , there is a good chance they would not be here at all .  they are living human embryos , and there are many of them that should be adopted , not dissected .  the sad thing is that steve is more likely to be treated not with embryonic stem cell research but with stem cells from his own body .  adult stem cell treatments are helping people walk today , in 67 different diseases and treatments .  the proponents of h.r. 810 can produce no such results .  there are none for embryonic stem cells .
