"Who knows...Maybe other forms of "defectiveness" may some day be correctable, too. "

My hubby's younger brother is mentally disabled. He is mentally about like a 10yr old except that he can't read or write. It was genetic so the doctors think it may have been caused by lack of oxygen during birth. (it was 35yrs ago so they didn't monitor that kind of thing during labor like they do now) That has my hubby really on the fence about stem cell research because he's read that they can grow new brain cells with it that would have fixed his brother's problems or could fix them in the future. (i haven't really read up on it so I don't know that much on the details)

If they could grow stem cells to develop new brains, we should insist that the first batch be administered to Democrats.
