Dave I take him seriously even though a proposed "Personhood" law was recently defeated in 'RED" Georgia. Much time and energy is spent on the fringes of this issue. Who is to say what might have been accomplished if we lived in a society that finding cures was like a Manhattan Project. Good for the two women who may no longer be blind. I think I found the source of the Senator's concern and it is the same one that permeates the whole anti-ESC opposition: In 1970 a stem cell line was created that has been used throughout the world. A company used renal or kidney cells to test a diabetes medication rather than using a person. Using cells to develop drugs is frowned upon, like Salk's vaccine for polio. see this URL for more info: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2012/01/26/bill-would-ban-aborted-fetuses-in-food/ to Shortey and friends a microscopic undifferentiated cell is the same thing as an "aborted fetus" or baby. There lies the fundamental difference in our thinking. Fighting Parkinson's for 16 years is hard enough; taking on all of the opposition to ESCs is too much., but it is definitely slowing us down. -----Original Message----- From: David McMurray Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 12:20 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: ESC Mania! Using this nut to throw a blanket over anyone who has concerns about the stem cell issue is disingenuous, to say the least....come on, his constituents don't take him seriously, why should you?
