Marsye, there is *no* guarantee that, even if stem-cell research were funded by the government, you would be able to afford the implants. Medicare traditionally drags its feet when it comes to funding new treatments. Only those with money will probably be able to obtain the implants. We now live in a country where the rich have magnificent health care while the poor obtain only the basics. I've seen that reality played out time and again in the hospital in which I work. -------------- Mary Ann Ryan (CG Jamie 65/25) > Does that mean that if ESC implants prove effective, theywill only be done in > private clinics?
