He is pushing for STEM CELL here and the repubs don't want any part of it no?! Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope they figure out a way to do this for other organs.

I'm down to a single kidney, which will be failing here in the next 3 - 5 years, so the quicker the better!!!

Not looking forward to dialysis in my early 40's and being on the transplant list.

I have to say, YES, YES, YES to stem-cell research.
