Iran at forefront of stem cell research

Though the world’s attention has focused on Iran’s advancing nuclear program, Iranian scientists have moved to the forefront in embryonic stem cell research, according to a recent joint study by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Controversial in the United States, embryonic stem cell research was embraced in 2002 by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s conservative religious leader. President Obama has recently adopted a similar policy, reversing restrictions that George W. Bush’s administration imposed because of the implications for destroying potential human lives.

Proposals to shorten transplant list make no gains

There are several proposals for increasing organ donations, none of which has made much progress in America so far. The three leading ones are:

• Making payments to donor families, which would cover some expenses for families willing to donate a relative’s organs.

• Enacting „presumed consent,“ which would assume someone’s organs are available for transplant unless a family opted out of donation.

• Establishing „A“ and „B“ lists of potential recipients, which would give preference to people on the waiting list who had agreed to be organ donors themselves.
