I'll sacrifice my fat to help those that need stem cells. Although it will be a big sacrifice, it is one I am willing to make :~)

Good post!!

Embryonic stem cell research is just an excuse to continue abortion.

Embryos, used in embryonic stem cell research, are the result of "discarded" and throw-away babies from the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process.

Adult stem cell use is much more ethical, effective, safe and moral.  It's also better for the patient since the embryonic stem cells are cause for tissue rejection in the patient and may also cause the growth of tumors called teratomas.  Adult stem cell use has a proven track record (see below), ESCR use does not.

Hehe. So my "food blister" has more use than keeping me alive on a desert island.

I like it!

And so was I, until I hit my forties.

Now I have a little "food blister" around my belly-button.

Do not despair! You will gain fat in your own time.

The only thing that could make this better is a tax deduction for donors. Sign me up anyway.

I'm tellin' ya. Next time I'm over on the old sod and you're all fixed up, we're heading to the local to load up on some Smithwicks and those awful Irish pub sandwiches with all the butter on them and one slice of meat!

Of course, there'll be lots of good crac to fill up one's head as well!

I'm off the drink - because of a head injury, but I think I will stay off it.

But I can still go to the pub!!
