In scientific research a negative result has value too. K.F, you will notice that I have not come out against stem cell research - I too believe that it may address all sorts of conditions which are at present not curable. My problem is with the discussion of the ethics and the morality of the research - it should not be discussed here because it is inflammatory. Political action for stem cell research is fine, reports of advances are fine - just let's not try to change anyone's mind about the ethics. Such discussion isn't productive. ------ God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 66/26 with PD) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
