I couldn't believe one could live 50 years with it either, but that was according to numerous Alzheimers related sites I've come across in my pursuit of educating myself about this awful disease.

Thanks for posting this informative article........PRO-LIFE BUMP
The question I've not heard asked is this: would you be willing to die for one of the many clamoring for stem-cell research? That is what they are demanding - that someone else give their life for another.
"That is what they (those demanding fetal stem cell research and applications) are demanding - that someone else give their life for another." Actually, the operant word isn't 'give' it is take ... those demanding fetal stem cell exploitation are all for taking the life of the fetal aged human being in order to try for medical treatments of older individual human beings.
While listening to the Stacey Taylor show online from KOGO, I heard the host close questioning the rationale behind President Bush's opposition to stem-cell research. His reasoning was that there are left-over embryoes from fertility treatment activities, so why not use them? There's always an opening, it seems, to cheapen life, to classify certain groups as not worthy of consideration. When is it ever right to bring death to the innocent? And how is it our position is the one that is intolerant, when the "Enlightened Ones" will not tolerate the most fundamental right of a whole [class/age/race -- take your pick]?
Excellent question...
