This doesn't change the meaning of what he said at all, Nick. "if we can do the work that we can do in this country -- the work we will do when John Keery is President -- people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk. Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again." It doesn't change it at all. It's just contemptible. A man like Edwards who has displayed his contempt for scientific medicine in his entire career is now prostituting a mythical version of it to further his own ambitions at the cost of creating false hope for the disabled. It's nothing short of vile. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
