It is better to remain in a half-lead body than to resurrect lost function and lose my humanity. It can not be. My misfortune has its own illumination. I am not an island entire unto myself. Autonomy is myth.
Nobody is independent.
All humanity is interdependent as part of the Human Family. My decisions affect others, whether directly, remotely or merely by inference. This must not be overlooked. I must turn away from therapies using stem cells from aborted embryos. The good news is that adult stem cells can be treated with drugs to mask the immuno-response to a foreign substance.
