Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Dear . . . Yes, the laws prohibiting stem cell usage are governed by the need for votes and not the need for health issues. Sounds crass but it's true. You're right, cord blood should always be saved. This will happen in the future. But when? Times will have to change but in the meantime many people will die waiting for organs, cancer patients waiting for spinal treatments, and, I suspect, lupus patients will benefit from these marvelous materials and procedures too. Especially those with organ involvement but there will no doubt be help for all auto-immune problems once the techniques are allowed to be studied and used. Unfortunately rigid beliefs die slowly. I've been told a slice of tissue as small as a fingernail can be implanted into a failing organ and the organ will begin to regenerate. In this country pig cells and tissue are allowed to be studied but they are a poor substitute for human tissue. I got a kick out of your " Electric Co. " boo-boo. It reminded me of a time when I ordered a mattress from a dept store. It hadn't arrived when I thought it should so I called the store to ask about the delivery. The very nice lady I spoke to broke her neck trying to find the order which had somehow disappeared. I got hotter and hotter and was really reading her out when all of a sudden I realized I had called the wrong store. But in those days I didn't have the courage to admit my mistake so I just hung up. Poor woman! I bet I really made her day. Talk about losing patience with the nearest warm body! Glad you got your computer woes fixed. Love, C.
