My 12 yr old son was diagnosed 3 years ago. I asked him one day if he thought it was OK to kill embryos to get stem cells to someday, maybe, but not for sure cure his diabetes.

Reading, hearing about all the distortions really just adds to the distress and heartbreak which all these chronic diseases bring with them.
