    Yes posted that in the good News thread a couple of days ago. Great news by the way. Note that it was made possible only because the child was considered lost already so they could use the compassional protocol. Still a long road ahead though. Thank you for posting that here. :)

    This is fantastic

    I remember when Bush and the Republicans blocked the use of stem cell research in USA 

    they should be ashamed if themselves

    Elections matter

    What an amazing achievement to be able to know you have positively moved the needle towards healing not only your own friend’s child but all future ‘butterfly babies’.
    The world needs more people like Jill & Ed.
