Reader comment on:
Empty Hope Of Stem Cell Science
in response to reader comment: Must have the spice

Submitted by Alicia, Dec 26, 2006 20:18

Sorry you think I'm a whack job but you obviously aren't familiar with my previous columns. I only mentioned the Toronto doctors to show researchers who are thinking outside the box to search for answers instead of relying on ESCR. According to those doctors, they were treating type 1 diabetic mice. If you can prove otherwise, good for you.

I had already written a piece about the diabetic research being done at the City of Hope Medical Center in Calif. Doctors I interviewed explained that islet transplants from a donated pancreas can effect a permanent cure. I wrote the column to urge the public to sign the back of their licenses authorizing organ donations.

Incidentally, I don't write the headings of my columns. My column referred only to the empty hope of Embryonic stem cell research. Happy Holiday to you, too.
