Mighty...what do you think of stem cell research as it pertains to possible cures for many dreaded diseases that still plague us today? The link below is from American for Cures Foundation:
STEM CELL FACTSGreat stuff Catherine. I had a cousin who broke his neck back in 1982, from a diving accident. He severed his spinal chord, and was paralyzed from the waste down. He ended up dying back in 2003, from various blood diseases, resulting from that accident.
You know, it's amazing how corrupt our government is. We can fight illegal wars, but can't invest in our own people. I still wonder today, if advanced stem cell research, could of saved my cousin, if we have had more compassionate people in congress.
It was so sad to see him in a wheelchair for 21 years. He was a farm boy, and was as strong as an ox. Watching him wither away, the way he did over the years, was simply depressing.
I wonder sometimes, what the rest of the world thinks of us.
