WITHIN FIVE YEARS!!! mm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob M. Drollinger" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2001 11:59 AM Subject: Okay, stem cells, but when? > Dear listfriends, > > I have heard enough of the stem cell debate, and have formed my opinion. > Although, as a Christian, I am totally against the harvesting of these cells from human embryos, as a sufferer of a Parkinson's like illness, that is and always will be unreponsive to traditional P.D. meds, I am at a quandry. That is: Support the advancements being made in stem cell research, and someday possibly be cured, but risk losing my salvation; or give up all hope of ever leading a normal life and wait for the eternal to take me home. > If there happens to develop some way around the ethical, moral, and Christian implications surrounding this research,, e.g. adult stem cells, umbilical cord cells, etc... I may consider treatment. Otherwise, I will not support use of stem cells harvested from embryos. > Anyway, as I believe I have stated before, I truly expect to be dead and gone before anything comes out of the current developments. How long are we talking with this; 10, 15, 25 years? I would bet my life savings that it will be more like 25 years, at which point I will be 55 years old. Quite frankly, I don't expect or want to live that long; not with this stinking illness. > > Jacob > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
