TO: Mr. Reeve re: Stem Cell Research: If your Hollywood cronies weren't already ponying up more cash for HIV than for breast cancer research, they could be privately funding your personal attempts at walking again.

Make no mistake about it, stem cell research is ongoing via private support. So stop bitching, Mr. Reeve.

That's the fact that is so conveniently overlooked. Bush didn't ban embryonic stem cell research. He just said the taxpayers would not fund it. Some people - apparently including Chris Reeve - can't make that distinction, while others can't grasp that all stem cells do not come from human embryos. That group seems to think Bush was not being pro-life when he didn't defund and/or ban all types of stem cell research. *sigh*

The actor said President Bush had paid too much heed to the Catholic church.(snip)

The actor, who has round-the-clock medical care which costs him $417,000 a year, once said he wanted to be on his feet by the time he was 50 -- a birthday just eight days away.

God bless him, that he is able to afford around the clock care. I agree, about aids monies, but I guess he won't go there. I guess he forgot Clinton was president for 8 years and he didn't do anything about stem cell reasearch.
