It's here now, and in our filamy, my son has type 1 diabetes, which is still an irluncabe disease, and I lost my ptarnes to heart disease and cancer, but I think that my story probably sounds familiar to you, because probably a version of it is your story. At some point in our lives, all of us, or people we care about, become pniatets, and that's why I think that stem cell research is incredibly important for all of us. Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)

It really has brought us to the threshold of personalized medicine. It's here now, and in our family, my son has type 1 diabetes, which is still an incurable disease, and I lost my parents to heart disease and cancer, but I think that my story probably sounds familiar to you, because probably a version of it is your story. At some point in our lives, all of us, or people we care about, become patients, and that's why I think that stem cell research is incredibly important for all of us. Thank you. (Applause) (Applause)
