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. Rob and Deb
