The Kansas City office of Polsinelli Shalton Welte Suelthaus PC topped the list, taking in $339,000 through May 17. The firm also performed pro bono work on the initiative's behalf.

There were rumors a year or two ago that he wanted to require many of his assets (such as his beloved Atlanta Braves) but nothing ever came about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1159055724432401122006-09-23T18:55:00.000-05:002006-09-23T18:55:00.000-05:00Thanks Ian, and thanks Mom (who knew?).

I've been occupied with domestic and commercial chores today, but I just emailed one of my friends (who assembled the adult stem cell therapy information in convenient, persuasive form) to email it to me.<BR/><BR/>I agree, of course, with Ian (and even Mom) that you don't want to rely on some guy who knows HTML and does a fancy website, but is Time magazine a reliable source? Doesn't Ted Turner own it, or a lot of it? I suppose it is reliable on this issue, because you know they'd loathe to say anything negative about a pro-death cause, unless it simply couldn't be avoided.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958570482046462392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1159028255373582762006-09-23T11:17:00.000-05:002006-09-23T11:17:00.000-05:00Here's a quote from a Time.com article followed by...Here's a quote from a Time.com article followed by link to the full article. It's a few years old.<BR/><BR/>"The first major hurdle is that while embryonic stem cells can develop into just about any type of tissue, scientists have little control over which one. Both the insulin-producing cells and heart cells, for example, came about by spontaneous differentiation. Scientists had to let the cells grow on their own, then pick out the ones they wanted."<BR/><BR/>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,170824-2,00.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1159028099806883612006-09-23T11:14:00.001-05:002006-09-23T11:14:00.001-05:00One source of that number above:http://www.stemcel...One source of that number above:<BR/><BR/>http://www.stemcellresearch.org/facts/treatments.htmIan Andrew Palkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705997337993937490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1159028075204818372006-09-23T11:14:00.000-05:002006-09-23T11:14:00.000-05:00Chumly,Agreeing with Crummy's Mom, the Internet is...Chumly,<BR/><BR/>Agreeing with Crummy's Mom, the Internet is not a good source of facts. However, there are public organizations which say that Adult Stem Cell treatment has sucesfully treated 72 different illnesses. Embryonic Stem Cells have not be sucessfully at treating any diseases.<BR/><BR/>Hence, while all of the advertising and campaigning shows children and smiling people, they still use words like "may" and "could" in front of their claims that killing people will help treat disease.<BR/><BR/>And even if their claims were right, we'd just be turning a physical malady into a social disease.

But, in things I've read (newspapers, magaizines), there has not been one case of cures being provided by embronic stem cells.They are too unpredictiable and cause tumors more often than not. The reseach thus far has been a failure. And Crummy's right, the proponets of this are trying to use weasle words to mislead the voters. Hopefully they don't get away with it. It's dangerous and very scummy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15621027.post-1158994230080182622006-09-23T01:50:00.000-05:002006-09-23T01:50:00.000-05:00Where do you get your information from?
