[end quoted] [Me] However, he then says the following bovine excrement! [begin quoted] Elias Zerhouni said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press that research into the medical uses of embryonic stem cells is still at an early stage and that the 78 cell lines approved by the White House are enough to meet scientific needs.[end quoted] [Me] Then we have more misrepresentation where e omits the work being done in Brazil that I and others reported here. [begin quoted] Zerhouni said that although scientists believe stem cell research could provide new treatments for disease, there has been no research proving that embryonic stem cells can be medically useful.[end quoted] Ultimately, as I believe any reader can see, he's nothing but an administration yes man despite professing to be the first to go to President Bush should stem cell research prove to be slowed in progress by administration policies. It is already proved to be slowed and he's not listening to those best qualified to say so, the actual REAL scientists doing the research! Bovine excrement neck deep.

Those who understand this are strongly encouraged to modify this to fit their personality, and add this to their signature file, and organize to recover our freedom from Big Brother. For those who wait until they are sick, it will be too late. Those who suffer from diseases which might have been cured by advanced medical research or schedule 1 drugs banned by Big Brother, have the right to hold accountable those who sat on their hands or worse, deferred their responsibility for personal and humanity's survival to unseen mystical agents, while they remained ill and dying.
