Well being a person living with Muscular Dystrophy I am all for stem cell research...Capriceman: I'm not here to get into a heated debate with you, just know this, being born with something you have no control of, and a disease which is basically a long painful death is not something I think makes me or anyone else who suffers from diseases such as MD weak...physically I am weak, mentally I'm strong, I was told almost two years ago I should be confined to a wheelchair and yet I'm not, I press on with the hope that one day this disease can be cured. To be quite honest with you, and take offense if you want....you're weak for making a statement like that. I am not asking for sympathy or anything, I am a human being and deserve every chance to make something out of my life as you do. I don't collect welfare....perhaps I'm the exception to the rule, but then again maybe I'm just strong anyway, seeing as how I'm in the process of starting my own business. If you woke up everyday and could barely get out of bed, could barely walk....could barely get up a flight of stairs or get out of your own car....are you saying you'd comit suicide for being weak and not the fittest? I highly doubt it, so don't make asinine comments when you obviously have no clue of what it's like to struggle. And let me leave you with this piece of advice...
I would'nt take things for granted in this life, cause should one day those things be taken away from you, you'll be in for a rude awakening.
