What if... It's my present understanding that couples whose embryos are stored at fertility clinics can opt to donate this material to research. Well, what if my wife and I decided to donate our own genetic material to ESCR? I understand that there are programs which allow people to donate their blood to themselves. Has anyone ever heard of such a program re: ESCR? If anyone wants to start one up, you got your first donors! Here is a lay-level summary of ESCR, focusing on efforts in Wisconsin. Keep in mind that efforts are still underway to make criminals out of your doctor and you for seeking to free yourself and your family from the curse of disease. http://www.news.wisc.edu/packages/stemcells/retro.html Please, people, poke around online and find out what's going on, and write your lawmakers, newspapers, radio stations, friends, relatives, dog warden, etc., and let them know you support ESCR and therapeutic nuclear transfer tech (if you do). Now's the time, while the course of our states and our country are being decided. That's what democracy is all about. Look again, closely, and see that... The emperor has no clothes! Enjoy!
