i never voted for him...he repulses me...and to veto this stem cell reseach. something so important to folks like all of us,his brain is not just wired to what priorities should be.

what goes around........

Well it looks like our President George "the clueless" has used his VETO POWER to kill stem cell research.  Something he obviously knows nothing about and is highly influenced by the "Moral Majority"....  What an idiot.  And I voted for that guy and had confidence in him until this issue along with him wanting to turn our ports over to Dubai came up.  Things that truly make you go "WTF?"

Study shows spinal cord regeneration  

PHILADELPHIA, -- A U.S. scientist has demonstrated in a  
lab animal the successful regeneration of injured spinal  
nerve endings and recovery of arm movements. John Houle,  
professor of neurobiology and anatomy at Drexel University  
College of Medicine, demonstrated how a nerve removed from  
the animal's leg and transplanted across a spinal cord  
injury -- in combination with enzyme digestion of scar  
material -- led to regeneration. "This study represents a  
major milestone in the battle to return spinal cord injury  
patients to a state of mobility," said Houle. "However  
there is still a lot of work to be done to adapt this pro-  
cedure to human use." He said a significant aspect of the  
study is the process applies to animals that are newly  
injured, as well as in animals with long-term injuries.  
A second facet of the study is the ability of the specific  
enzyme, chondroitinase, to modify scar tissue, reducing  
its normal inhibitory nature and facilitating growth  
beyond the bridge. The research project is detailed in  
the Journal of Neuroscience.
