Well I have a cadaver and a crook... and we're trying our best to get rid of the crook.
Rep. David Weldon, a Republican from Florida and a medical doctor, was on the same Heritage panel. He pointed out that science is rapidly moving away from an emphasis on embryonic stem cells and toward the study of adult stem cells. “In a few years, the embryonic people are probably going to give up,” Weldon said, “because they’re just not getting good research results.” On the other hand, “the adult stem cell work and, in particular, the cord blood work is just phenomenal.”
So there are two major research alternatives. The first is stem cells from umbilical cord blood, which are available every time a woman gives birth. The second is adult stem cells, which are typically drawn from the bone marrow of patients. The National Institutes of Health notes on its Web site: “Adult stem cells such as blood-forming stem cells in bone marrow (called hematopoietic stem cells, or HSCs) are currently the only type of stem cell commonly used to treat human diseases.” They’ve been used for decades to treat patients with leukemia, lymphoma and several inherited blood disorders.
Embryonic stem cells, on the other hand, have yet to be successfully used to treat anything, which is why supporters want federal funding for their research effort.

I believe Mark said he got a lot of info. from Heritage.
I forget the cadaver is still there. I suspect that he will retire and Corslime will appoint Codey to that spot.
Time to listen to the ballgame.
