I am asking all delegates to please endorse my proposal for stem cell research.
With the use of cell therapies, we may have cures for cancers, Parkinsons, diabetes, kidney diseases, multiple sclerosis and a whole host of other diseases. They have also shown to help spinal injuries and victims of parayalsis to regain movement. Please endorse this proposal and create a better life for every human on this planet ??

I believe that this is already in the books, unfortunately.

Let's see...

Embryonic Stem cell research

A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.


Category: Human Rights


Strength: Significant


Proposed by: Yonkings

Description: Researchers can use knowledge from embryonic stem cells to treat diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular and various types of cancers to better understand and treat the diseases.

And how about this?

Stem Cell Research Funding


A resolution to improve worldwide human and civil rights.

Category : Human Rights
Strength : Strong
Proposed by : Nykibo

Description : The use of Stem Cells is an amazing new breakthrough in the fields of science and medicine. Scientists know that these cells, harvested from human embryos, could eradicate many diseases, including Cancer, Type 1 Diabetes, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. But while the list of diseases that Stem Cells could cure gets longer and longer, the amount of what little funding is present continues to dwindle. I admit, some people do insist that harvesting something from a human as if it was an experiment is immoral, but allowing millions of people to die each day is much worse. This is the best chance we have at beating these diseases. The one thing standing in the way of this is funding. Stem Cell Research is very costly, and without proper funding, this plane will never take off the ground. In this proposal, I ask that funding be provided to the scientists of all UN member nations, if they so desire to research Stem Cells and their benefits. I urge my fellow UN members to stand up to these diseases, and fund Stem Cell Research.
