worth repeating...
"There are many exciting medical breakthroughs using adult stem cells.
Here’s a very dramatic one that will touch your heart. Umbilical cord
stem sells have given sight and speech to a four-year-old-boy. There’s
even video footage documenting the case. For more details see
http://www.lifeissues.org/lifefinder.asp?id=618 and please spread the
word. While the media touts the remote potential of embryonic stem
cells, many treatments and cures of adult stem cells are going
un-noticed. Please share this information with others!"

Diabetes foundation chooses politics over cure
By Michael Fumento

The slick Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International flyer that appeared in Sunday newspapers throughout the country showed a little girl on monkey bars with her hand just inches from the next bar. "The cure is so close we can almost touch it," her accompanying mother says. Likewise, JDRF Chairwoman Mary Tyler Moore proclaimed in a recent TV commercial, "We are so close to finding a cure."
So wrong. JDRF is the world's largest juvenile diabetes philanthropy, distributing over $85 million in grants last year. Yet it supports no efforts that could lead to a cure any time soon for this blinding and crippling disease that afflicts as many as 1.7 million Americans. Instead it's become a lobby for controversial embryonic stem-cell research and refuses to help fund the only study that could soon bring a cure.
