"How do you deal with people who feel that what you're doing is morally, ethically wrong, because in a sense you're destroying life to save life?" Bradley asked Dr. Hans Keirstead.  "I don’t feel what I’m doing is morally wrong. I think the use of human embryonic stem cells is an ethical and responsible thing to do with tissue that would have been destroyed in the discards of a fertility clinic," Keirstead replied.  "But there are people who would say that that is life," Bradley said.  "So, let's use it instead of discarding it. Why discard it? If you think that that is a holy thing, then value it, treasure it and keep it. Use it for research and the betterment of lives, don't throw it away," Keirstead said.  On Feb 28, 2006, at 7:44 PM, Paul Jacobson wrote: Be clear......the genetic makeup of a rat is vastly different than that of a human.     This is the tip of the iceberg...........great work, exciting work but don't expect to see this success applied to humans in our lifetime.   Be well and live each day to its fullest.   Paul Jacobson, c5/6 Injured /05/03 ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 6:18 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] 60 Minutes Did you all see 60 Minutes on Sun?
