Dear Jagannath,

I do not see the problem in studying stem cell research. In my mind, I think
that allopathic medicine is especially good in emergency medicine and surgery.
I would put stem cell research in the surgery category. A couple of years ago,
I was on a ladder and it slipped out from under me. I broke my leg. I never
thought of going to an ayurvedic doctor or any natural healer. I had an
operation and my leg is fine. To me stem cell research has intriguing
possibilities. It can possibly mend cartilege and also spinal cord. It may be
possible to regrow some organs using the persons own tissues. It does not use
drugs ( that I know of ) to grow these tissues. It seems to me that this is one
area of allopathic medicine that is on the right track. I do not know of any
natural healers that can mend a spinal cord except maybe psychic healers but
those are few and far between. There is a place for everything and I believe
this is one area, allopaths can excel.
