HI! David:
Your point is well taken.
I have made the language as simple a I can without giving them a lecture
on every scientific term one needs to use when talking about this subject.
I know some words like "hapliod, diploid, transdifferentiation, blastocyst,
oocyte, telomere erosion, epigenetic etc.," are not in common man's
vocabulary. if I start explaining every word in detail, the artice will be
too long. Already it was solong I had to split into two parts for emailing
it. I appreciate your comments though.
This is the trouble when people do not know what is going on, have the
power to make decisions on the subject they cannot fully appreciate. And
they would not like to believe the experts' opinion, such as that of 40
Nobel Laureates!
Raj
