    I'm glad they finally proved what I've been saying about stem cells all along.

    1. Like you know anything about it.
    2. If stem-cell research got more federal funding, we may have discovered this sooner.

    Stem cell research was being researched by many different countries around

    the world. I really don't think it mattered at all about American government

    funding to get quicker results. What is a few months either way?

    The best research on Stem cell reasearch was in Germany. They actually developed a certain Stem cell treatment for AIDS/HIV.

    When I was in my first year of med school MANY years ago, the most brilliant scientists in the world were saying: embryonic no, adult yes. I believed them.

    I was more interested in neurosurgery than stem cells.

    Can I take it that you are aware that many doctors write peer reviewed articles. Here in the UK they publis in the Lancet or the BMJ.

    I didn't finish. I abandoned my goal of being a neurosurgeon to serve Him. It is MUCH more rewarding.

    this is the one that caught me by surprise. I know the BBC had a reporter who was circumcised on TV.

    This report quoted a Dr. De Cock (funny as hell considering the topic)
