    Funny story.

    Nancy Reagan was Hollywood bimbo before she snagged married man Ronald Reagan and got him to divorce the mother of his children. She adopted the persona of hard core Christian while engaging in pagan superstitions like astrology. Because the GOP base was strongly ‘pro-life’ Nancy, who’d never cared one way or the other, painted herself as pro-life and was adamantly anti-abortion. She was against it until she found out that that stem cells might help Ronnie’s dementia. Then she was okay with stem cell research.

        Life is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

        Horace Walpole, which a pretty funny name.

    Okay what in the Snake Oil salesman’s cart is that cookie popup? “We care about your privacy” while the only button available is “Accept all cookies”?

    Oh wait, a link with “manage preferences” hidden in the tiny text.

    FTS. 🤬

    Ah, I know that story already from the bible. It wasn’t stem cells 2000 years ago, but it’s similar significant, because of few test persons and fewer lucky ones.
    Anyway I hope they could heal more paraplegic in the future.

        I meant the bible story of John 5 and thought about, it could be just coincidence and no wonder because of the small test group. That’s all. I’m sorry if it was inappropriate. I didn’t have bad intentions.
