Dear Ed-- while I am one who favors stem cell research, I am sorry to hear that you have felt a "lack of even nominal respect" for your differing views. I think most of us are aware that this list is far from homogeneous, and there are a variety of opinions about most things---just having PD doesn't "make clones of us all". I will try to remember this as I post on any controversial subject, and not assume unanimity. Thanks for the nudge, and if anything I have written has offended you or any one else, please forgive me. As someone has said, we're all in this boat together..... >In a message dated 6/20/01 11:10:02 AM, [log in to unmask] writes: > ><< I find it more than interesting that everyone on the right that has a tie >to > >Parkinson's disease or some other affected condition that would benefit from > >the research steps out of line and backs the funding. >> > >I not sure how close to true that is.
