Cystis Fibrosis

Hello Ladies and Gentle beings --Got a bit of "wonderful news" (drip sarcasm here) -- seems my 4 year old grandchild, Megan has Cystis Fibrosis. Ahhh, nice. Well it did explain a lot of mysterious things in her short life from birth, and now we are armed with the knowledge, it's time for attack. I have been looking up this disease and find it's interesting, a possible connection in gene structure to chronic bronchitis, diabetes, and other digestive problems. I suspect with all the nice things I have, that I am probably a carrier, and so is my daughter who married a carrier and Bingo! As Krista said, "We should have played the lottery that day" (when they met...)Poor little Megan! Any of you people who wish you could eat everything and remain slender and petite, be careful of what you wish for. It's a good symptom of CF, meaning you aren't getting all your benefits from food and you have to eat a whole lot of it, plus supplements... ahhhh!

Our whole family is falling apart. Eldest daughter has diabetes. I can tell you from first hand experience, that's a joy.

So! Color me a pro-gene research person!!! Let's bring on the clones!~! Fight these diseases!! Remember, gene research and cell cloning does NOT mean killing babies. We can harvest those from placentas. There are many ways to clone for organs, (I need a new pancreas myself) --- While there is no truth to ostriches hiding heads in the sand, we homo saps do have a tendency to hide our ability to think and discover under dogma and outmoded belief systems.
