Thanks, Debbie!! If you don't watch/listen to anything else from
that Symposium, you should truly look for that part! It is SO
important because we have ALL been led astray and he makes it so
easy to understand and he is the expert along with his staff!!! He
is also one of the main ones trying so hard to get this passed in
order to save those like you and I from living with our
disabilities. Had it been available at our onset, we may have had a
chance to be one of the 'lucky' ones and had this simple procedure
done. I wish there was a way to show just that one section of the
Symp... Is there, Debbie? It is so misunderstood that there will
be those that could be helped but will refuse only because of the
misunderstanding. Jeanne in Dayton

Subject: Re: [TMIC] stem cell (OT?)
I will make just a short statement regarding this, as I do not wish
to become involved in a debate. Dr. Kerr has stated in all of his
talks that the BIGGEST mistake in the very beginning was to even
give it the name "embryonic stem cells". They are NOT
embryos. They are NOT aborted fetuses. They are "blastocysts" -
only two cells that could not ever survive outside of a petri dish
on their own. Because the scientists made this mistake in the
beginning of giving it the name "embryonic stem cell", all of the
right-to-life people came out and attacked this research from the git-go.
If you view the talks from all of our symposia at
<http://www.myelitis.org/events.htm>http://www.myelitis.org/events.htm
and listen carefully to Dr. Kerr's talks on stem cell research, you
will have better knowledge of this.
Regarding the idea of going out of the country to receive
treatments, Dr. Kerr has also discussed this. The research is
there, but the follow-up on the patients is lacking, so they have no
record of how the patients did AFTER they left the country to go back home.
Take care,
Debbie
