Stem Cell Battles: Proposition 71 and Beyond: How Ordinary People Can Fight Back Against the Crushing Burden of Chronic Disease

Now available on Amazon, Don Reed’s book, Stem Cell Battles: Proposition 71 and Beyond: How Ordinary People Can Fight Back Against the Crushing Burden of Chronic Disease. Mr.Reed sponsored California’s Roman Reed Spinal Cord Injury Research Act of 1999.  Named after his paralyzed son Roman, “Roman’s Law” provided and attracted millions of dollars for stem cell research. Reed also organized groundbreaking supportive legislation. He says in the Huffington Post:

“It’s 2016, I am 70 years old, and just published a book on stem cell research…with a posthumous foreword by Christopher Reeve.

For me as the father of a paralyzed young man, Roman Reed, I am eternally grateful to Paul Richter, the policeman who was shot in the line of duty, but then went on to inspire a paralysis research program — and Dr. Sally Temple, co-founder of the Neural Stem Cell Institute; and Brooke Ellison, a paralyzed woman who inspired Christopher Reeve’s last movie, The Brooke Ellison Story — and groundbreaking scientist Loren Studer, fighting for a cure of Alzheimers’ and ALS. Too many to even try to name them all!”
