I just read a fabulous article on stem cell research where the cells they use are from testicles.   I dont know alot about stem cell research, but from what I've gathered it could mean the massive improvement of quality of life for all sorts of conditions ranging from cva's to other bad neuro issues like MS and Parkinsons.  From what I've gathered it is legally funded privately but not through the government because of ethical issues associated with 'right to life'.   Ok.....................if they can get the needed cells from testicles, does that make a possible waiver for federal funds for this research?  If anybody knows more info on this, Id love to hear it.  


We only have one heart, take care of it!
