Its interesting, verging on a cruel chuckle that it is being strongly supported by Nancy Reagan. See, in 1982, Ronald Reagan IMPOSED THE BAN against Stem Cell Research and delayed by TWELVE YEARS research that could have kept him from becoming a diaper-wearing mindless sack of meat. He was all too happy to consign others to this fate, I think its a fitting end to him for it. Any research that happens now will come much too late for him but at least Nancy seems to have learned the lesson and grown something of a heart. No one should have to face a disease like Altzheimers. I can honestly say that of all the diseases, abuses, and everything else in the world, things like altzheimers are the only things I really truly fear. I'd rather be tortured to death than rot in a body while my mind slipped away.

Date: 2004-06-04 03:51 pm (UTC)Meanwhile I tried to donate umbillical stem cells for research or use, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't afford to bank em, but I figured I could at least donate em. Nope. :(
I'd hate to be like that, I'd think. But then I look at my Dad, with Parkinson's Like Syndrome (Thats what they call it) and think about a good mind in a body that won't listen, and that seems sucky, too. I mean he's ok, but his uncle has full blown and has to crawl (on a good day) and I dont know what would be worse. At least if your mind is gone, maybe you arent aware? I dunno.
