Aren't some of you missing the fact that stem cells do not have to come from aborted fetuses?

I'd like to remind everyone who our common enemy is: Parkinson's Disease--NOT EACH OTHER!!! If a cure were to come based on research that had nothing to do with stem cells from aborted fetuses, I for one, would be so happy that I would want all of my brothers & sisters in arms to be healed. And for your information, my symptoms can hardly get any worse than they already are!! I can only pray that research can be dicovered that does not build upon the already horrendeous descision a woman makes at the time she she decides to go thru with an abortion. -- Joan E.
