Hi All, I look at this issue via the News Wires every day. For the past several months thre are usually 15 - 30 items that come up every day in response to a News Wire query on "stem cell". With the controversy at the White House; the lobbying in Washington (notably Juvenile Diabetes, the "kids", & the celebrities); and the windup yesterday of the Biotech Conference in San Diego; guess what has happened this morning? My query on "stem cell" returned 566 items! The American public will hear about stem cell research - pro's and cons - this week via the media! Cheers ......... murray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
