I SO agree that the name calling and hateful words need to be stopped. But this is a disagreement that is not going to go away. While our common enemy is PD, there are those of us who are not willing to sacrifice one life for the well-being of another, even if it is someone we love very much, or ourselves. That crosses a line some are not willing to cross. Again, I repeat myself -- if we can do this research without using willfully aborted babies, I think it is wonderful!! In our state of Nebraska right now, this is an ongoing debate because the UNO Med Center is conducting research on fetal cell tissue. Our Governor has taken a stand against the research even though his mother has PD and he has personally experienced the ravages of the disease. Please, as my husband is always saying, "LET'S JUST AGREE TO DISAGREE." And stop the name calling. We do not need to personally attack any individual or group on this list.
