I'm glad someone has addressed the LA Times' recent biased pro-Planned-Parenthood-anti-pregancy-care-centers-anti-abortion/breast-cancer-link article, and very well.

I can tell you for absolute sure that most of us with Type 1 diabetes support stem cell research -- with those embryonic cells as they are the only ones with curative potential.

We all know these embryos would otherwise be discarded, so personally, I think Lipinski is nuts.

Hi Amy,

guess I shouldn't blame you too much ... but you are following the lead/assessment of 'orthodox' medicine... of which Jill is an RN ... how's about me steering you to a whole different kind of medicine, that has already 'cured' Type I Diabetes - http://www.amazon.com/Victory-over-Diabetes-Bio-Ecologic-Triumph/dp/0879835486
and as for Type II/, please read 'Lights Out' by TS Wiley ... there's a lot of info that you were never exposed to ... this too http://www.newstarget.com/021626.html

politics will not cure zip ...........

your version of stem cells is NOT the best treatment possibility for Type I diabetes because the research hasn't even begun to seek the optimum environment for cell-regeneration - which is likely ketosis and a magnetic field.

Amy, that may be your opinion, but if it were the opinion of ALL diabetes patients then why would the JDRF try to silence those who disagree with their loyalty pledges? (http://www.jdrf.org/files/chapters_and_affiliates/test_chapter/JDRF_Child_Congress_App.pdf)
