Research On MS

I found this on the MS discussion board I use online and thought I would share.

Many avenues being explored for MS are going against my beliefs. For example, stem cell exploration is playing with life and many see no wrong in doing so.

Some do not see it as wrong as they seem to think life just suddenly starts at maybe a few weeks , maybe 12 weeks or maybe 20 weeks , to make it it suitable for them not to feel guilt.

A cure would be fantastic but at what cost ??

Teenage smoking and birth.

Reading the news today I came across this article about teenagers smoking. I was shocked to say the least, and I am not really sure that I agree entirely with the article headline, as I cannot see the majority starting to smoke to reduce size of the baby. I am sure most of it comes from peer pressure, copying parents or just being a rebel and of course already being a smoker.
One good thing that I can see to reduce smokers is making it harder for smoker to find places to smoke and socialise , which is already happening throughout the country.
