Dear Dr. Zerhouni: Thank you so much for speaking up about the necessity of embryonic stem cell research. Your courageous stand gives those of us who suffer from incurable disease a reason to hope that science will prevail over ignorance and politics. It is difficult to fight a disease and this terrible impasse over research. Your opinion will carry more weight than mine anyway. With gratitude, Rayilyn Brown Ovarian cancer survivor Parkinson's disease prisoner 11 years Surprise AZ [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
