Roman Reed, 33 years old, suffered a spinal cord injury in 1994 leaving him confined to a wheelchair. Immediately after his injury he dedicated himself to advocating for embryonic stem cell research funding to find cures for MS, Parkinsons, Alzheimers and those with similar injuries. As Roman puts it, "It's ridiculous to think that those who are suffering are not worth embryoninc stem cells...There is nothing more pro-life than trying to help the suffering. That's what Jesus did. So tell me what's wrong with that?"
