     In the midst of this interesting message concerning the
cryopreservation of the important factors which exist only in fetal
blood and placenta, the following statements appear:

>hospitals in the country. Private hospitals and clinics are permitted,
>but they have a hard time surviving, since the public system is free
>and of a good standard. Long waiting lists have been the only incentive

     Will members of this list PLEASE refrain from introducing political
ideology to their messages! From the principles underlying individualism
and free societies, I *know* that the above statements are either misleading
or invalid, but, as with so many simple-appearing pronouncements promoting
Statism, it would take many hours of research and thought, and many thousands
of words to give a full refutation. Neither do I have time for it, nor is
this the appropriate forum in which to present such a reply.
