i have been trying to get this right for several days now, but everytime, i start to write about the deaths of two such important men who both helped me so very much in the very early days of my participation on this list, i can't stop the tears. i feel so helpless and at times i wonder what good it does me to get up each morning and put on a positive attitude and come in here, sit at the computer and start to work the phones, hoping against hope that i can help to stop this. there is a cartoon making the rounds and as i cannot send it as an attatchment, i will describe it for you. in this cartoon a man identified only as a Parkinson's Patient is sitting in a waiting room reading a newspaper. the door, marked Therapeutic Cloning Debate, is opened by a man who says: "We resolved the sanctity of life question. You didn't make the cut." at the bottom of the page is a doodle that says "you did recieve an honorable mention." well, honorable mention isn't good enough or timely enough for joe and bruce and so many others who have gone before us. i need to feel that i am empowered again rather than this helplessness that is weighing down my soul. meanwhile, i need a box of kleenex and some meds. joan -- Joan E.
