Re: Paper On Stem Cells In PD

[Guest guest]

Hi, ,

Thank you for writing this. It is all so well written. In my opinion,

every point you made hit the nail right on the head. I realize not everyone

has

the same opinion, and that is one of the wonderful things about this country

- we are allowed to have differences of opinion. On this particular matter,

however, it is most frustrating. I lost my father sixteen months ago, and I

wish that no one else had to go through that horrific experience. He had no

other health problems except LBD so his passing was very difficult, to say

the least. I just don't understand how anyone could not want to pursue the

research that could possibly save so many families from having to experience

this. My heart just aches for all the people in our group who are facing what

you are facing - the loss of a loved one, maybe this year. (I believe that

Bush's father died with Alzheimer's so that makes it even more

unbelievable on her part.) Well, I guess that is enough rambling from me on

this

subject, but I just wanted to thank you for giving my frustrations a voice.

Hugs,

Piper

Donna,

writes so clearly.

My mother was a " young " looking person with a bounce in her step before LBD

struck her. She was a leader in the local church, and had her organ donor

card signed. She chose life every day and in every way that she could.

My mother definitely would have chosen to be - well- again, via embryonic stem

cell research. Had she had the option, my mother would have chosen life.

I've served as a deacon in my church, and I've done my bible study. I still

can't begin to follow my Aunt's, or President Bush's thought pattern on this

subject.

I find no biblical or morel ethic that it is better to flush thousands of

frozen embryos down the drain, rather than culture some and heal the sick.

With a cure on the medical horizon, President Bush continues to condemn

hundreds of thousands of people to a horrible death by following a policy, that

is both anti-morel and illogical.

My aunt may disagree, but as I'd paraphrase what wrote: she is free NOT

to take the cure, should disease comes to her door.

Dann,

I don't know if you have noticed lately, but the laws are being made so that one

doesn't have a " choice. " It's as if we aren't smart enough to figure it out

ourselves.

PS I erase the next 4 paragraphs I wrote. I can really get on a Soap Box about

this.

Hugs,

Donna R

Caregave for Mom (after I brought her from WI to MI) for 3 years and 4th year in

a nh.

She was almost 89 when she died in '02. No dx other than mine.
