Let me say this..... my huband is a Type 1 Diabetic and has been since he was 10 years old. Stem cell research may have found a cure for him. In Canada they are testing it now. SO far, so good, they have had much success, and NO more insulin for those taken the treatment. Maybe someday the US will approve the treatment here.

Do you know I coud lose my husband at any given moment? Do you know what he or I would do to save his life? ANYTHING! Science is the key to saving his life, and let me add that if they have to clone a pancaress to save him, then DO IT! We have a child whom I would like to see have a father around for many years to come.

Not to mention the medical expenses we incure everyday. Here are some figure for you, just to keep my husband alive last year we spent, $240 in medicine, $1,200 on medical supplies to run his insulin pump, and Lord have mercy I can only guess at our hospital bills for every reaction he had last year that required a trip to the hospital. I'm sure it was over $5000 or more. Now what could we do with and extra $10,000 a year?

Hmmmm? Buy more weed

Anyway, I'm all for any research that involves stem cells and cloneing, b/c someday it just might save the life of someone I hold very close to my heart...... enough said.

Well, I didn't read your post, but I can imagine what it says, so let me just say this. My doctor happens to be a white male, but I would have no problem seeing a woman doctor, or a minority doctor for that matter. In fact, the medical community DOES need more women and especially more african-american women doctors. Science RULES!
