Good Morning Bob, You present excellent examples, however, I feel they are too old to apply to daily life now. I feel we should have faith in our researchers. I find this younger generation to be very, very moral adults. Its not fair to condemn them for things which went on before they were born. I believe the world has learned from its mistakes. What was lacking then, which we seem to be in complete control of now, is COMMUNICATIONS. There really is no place to hide in the world anymore. I don't think that those sort of experiments could be conducted quietly now because of email, someone would get the message out, and there would be such a hue and cry from the general population that any member of Congress, and any President and Vice President , no matter the party affiliations, would have to handle it as "Priority Number One." I also believe they would all truly want to do so. I believe our elected officials care about the people who elected them to office. If it was just a job, they could certainly find one with a whole lot less stress, which also would give them greater financial rewards. They do it because they care. I would also hope that the Citizens of United States have grown up a lot since the end of WWII. I was just a child when WWII ended and now I'm a Senior Citizen. Let's take a chance and see if these Stem Cells are going to do what we want them to do. If they don't, it's back to the drawing board, and maybe the next time we will have also learned something from our mistakes, so we won't be condemned to repeat them. just me, Marjorie At 08:06 PM 10/04/2000 -0700, you wrote: >Date sent: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 20:45:20 -0400 >Send reply to: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network ><[log in to unmask]> >From: "Marjorie L.
