That’s exactly what happened to Joseph Jordan, right before he learned he had type 1 diabetes. As bad as the news was, the 10-year-old heard something even worse that day -- the implication that he could expect... to die young.

Watch this two-minute video to hear Mr. Jordan explain this unforgettable experience 30 years ago -- and how it helped shape his support for lifesaving stem cell research.
