Greg,
IMOHO, I think the one who explains it the best is the Doctor from MIT.
If you don't have his testimony before the Senate, I can send it off line

Please let me know if you want it.  There is also one from the Doctor at Tulane
on Adult Stem Cells, I have it also, if you'd like to print it off for your
Father.



just me,
Marjorie
