Laurie Strongin

Laurie Strongin is the author of the upcoming Hyperion book, ''Saving Henry: A Mother's Journey''. The book tells the story of her family's pioneering use of in vitro fertilization and Preimplantation genetic diagnosis to try to save the life of her son, Henry Strongin Goldberg, who was born with the genetic disease Fanconi anemia. In December, 2002, Henry ultimately died of the disease and complications related to a bone marrow transplant. Prior to his death, Henry was profiled in a New York Times magazine cover story 〔(New York Times: The Made-to-Order Savior )〕 and an episode of ABC New's Nightline.
In the years after her son's death, Strongin became an advocate for relaxing the ban on federal support for stem cell research. She and her husband, Allen Goldberg, appeared with then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) in a press conference to urge the passage the Senate companion legislation to the House of Representative's Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005.〔(Pelosi Press Release )〕
Strongin also published an op-ed in the Washington Post on July 23, 2006 titled, ''Vetoing Henry'', which took issue with President George W. Bush's veto a week earlier of Congress's attempt to remove funding restrictions on human embryonic stem cell research. This veto was the first of George W. Bush's presidency.
In addition to her advocacy work, Strongin founded a non-profit, Hope for Henry Foundation, that provides gifts and parties for children hospitalized around the country with life-threatening diseases. Laurie was named an 2009 Energizer Keep Going Hall of Fame Semifinalist.
