Re: Shot down again
Dear Jacob, This really makes sense. Why would the medical and pharmaceutical industry give up all of those millions each year they bilk off of the public to chance finding a cure. Unfortunately , the stem cell research which sounds so promising will probably go away because of Lobbists and Money not because the people dont want it.
