Thank you ALL; Thank you Murray. You made us breathe easier. This is such a knowledgeable network that it is beyond our expectation on personal experiences and wealth of information that we received from you. Murray, at one time when I read on Stem research feedback, it said that it will probably be never used on large scale since it takes 8 aborted fetuses to treat one person. I am personally hopping for better drugs, although our family doctor warn us that many new drugs are taken off the market within 1st year.
