I especially like her comment on the role of Congress vis-a-vis science: "Time is a precious commodity and, to those family members who have a loved one who could benefit from embryonic stem cell research, far too much has been lost already," Bono, a Palm Springs Republican, said in a statement today. "It is not our role in Congress to dictate science, to pick and choose what deserves to be studied and which potential cures deserve to be explored. Stem cell research has the potential to enhance the ability of medical scientists to improve the lives of millions; which could include the development of life-saving treatments for those persons suffering from Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Diabetes and other numerous diseases and physical ailments." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
