Paul, I truly think that if everyone on this list met at a convention there would be an overwhelming display of love and friendship like you have never seen before. I don't believe for one minute that anything said here is anything more than friendly battle and debate. If anyone feels that it is more than that then let them deal with it. I'll take one of those new brains when they are available. Why not? People don't shy away from purchasing new hearts, livers, kidneys, eyes, etc. Greg 47/35/35 Paul wrote: ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Ayers" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 2:07 PM Subject: Stem Cell > As always in this discussion, everyone thinks stem cell is the only > possibility of a cure.
