> We are already in a situation of catastrophe. No.....we really are not. A catastrophe is a world-wide pandemic. PD is an awful disease, but it does not affect everyone and never will. Also I don't view humans as > superior to all other life forms - I agree with Andy Rooney that "your > average dog is a better person than your average person." I have two very large dogs and although I treasure them, they are definitely not better than the people in my life. > > Do you want Jim Finn to give back his fetal pig cells? Fear of animals is > overblown - we are animals. > Stem cell research and chimeras deserve careful scrutiny. To not do so is to bring about devastating results for more than just the recipients of genetic material. While I am not against stem cell research I get a bit disgusted with the attitude that we are to rush into all kinds of research regardless of the consequences. People have died and will continue to die because they have been the recipients of genetic and stem cell therapy. As for my fear of animals being overblown.......try telling that to the doctors and scientists that are monitoring Avian Flu. ---------- God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 66/26 with PD) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
