Recently, there seem to have been some new people posting. First, I support stem cell research strongly. I do have a concern. That is there is a lot of misinformation about what exactly this research is. It is complicated and difficult to explain. Perhaps some one----in a simple way as possible could do this---invitro fertilization, etc. Now that I think of it might not be a bad idea to have a referral list for basic info. Maybe there already is such a list.Needless to say, I certainly do not want to reinvent the wheel. In one of the recent postings it was stated there are a lot of diseases needing funding.How true.More than once the scientific community has stated that PD of all the diseases has the best chance of a cure .That in turn would result in other diseases being cured--diabetes i.e. Not too long ago PD was one of the least funded of all diseases. Because of PAN and grassroots efforts this is no longer true.However. it is not enough.Moines promised are not available.On basic info let's be informed so we can make a difference. An antidote ( adding to Nina's posting) about Sen. Hatch.When I was a t a PAN FORUM I had a few moments to spare. I was near Sen.Hatch's office and decided to drop in and leave my thanks . I explained that I was not from his state and that I was at a PAN FORUM. One of his legal aides heard the conversation and said how the Senator had. gathered his whole staff and explained the process he had used to change his position to supporting stem cell research. He said," it was one of the senator's greatest moments" Lorraine Jeffe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
