Here is the what our family discussed the other day...kaybugs has Type 1 diabetes...she was diagnosed at 5, two years ago.
Now...even IF it required FEDERAL funding of embryonic stem cell research (btw, we all agreed we don’t like ANY embryonic stem cell research if it destroys viable embryos)...we would NOT want that to happen, because kaybugs herself, or the itty bitty one, COULD have been that destroyed embryo.
When I think of my life without having had kaybugs or the itty bitty one in it...it is just not the one I want to live in.
She takes her disease quite well...it hasn’t stopped her from being a cheerleader, swimmer...great student and fun kid!
ALSO...everyone seems to forget that the ESC research HASN’T resulted in ANY cures...not like the ones on other stem cells from other sources.
I am very disappointed in Orrin Hatch on this one...Specter I undertand.
You’ve made kaybugs and the itty bitty one part of our lives to, to all of our delight.
