Excellent post in #37, Joe. You said it better than I could...
Thanks. I wish I had the Cliff's Notes version of this discussion for you. I bet some pointy headed Freeper may have a suggestion if they wander into the thread.
In simple terms; always follow the money trail (a creedo taught to me by my old man). There is a kajillion dollars waiting to be made in this field. Researchers would tell Michael J. Fox that he could have a brain transplant to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's and he is in such bad straits that he would be inclined to believe it.
Finally, let's not undersetimate the power of prayer, as a source of consolation for those who suffer and for an eventual cure. I believe they are going down the wrong path with the embryonic stem cells.
Pray for those who would defend life.
