Forgive this one more note. Using the approved ESC lines, the true goal ought to be to discover just how to control stem cell differentiation into the three fundamental cell lines of the tissue structure of the human body. If the embryonic lines approved fro current federal funding could accomplish this, then it is likely that MAPCs will be 'backed up' in the stem cell cascade, to come forward again into the tissue lines needed. THAT is the only thing I would expect to be discovered via the study of embryonic stem cells and the applications of stem cells using stem cells from the patient to be treated will remain superior to using the stem cells from an embryonic other individual human with a different histamine code that causes tissue rejection in the target patient.

Sorry to keep you from your work. Be well.

You might be surprised when I say that I agree with you.

That is the primary reason that Bush said there were enough lines to study.

Only a few people have voiced complaint about the existing lines.

The fact is, that the death of Reagan and Nancy's support of the cause has brought about the proverbial knee jerk on both sides of this issue.

I am sorta in the middle, so I see them both.

I think what it is..........is that the Euro trash has the best samples and we can't get them.(or something to that effect)

Most scientists are liberal Bush haters as well.
