And I'm going to work as hard as I can... for cancer research and hopefully maybe we'll have some cures and some breakthroughs. I'd like to think I'm going to fight my brains out to be back here again next year for the Arthur Ashe recipient. I want to give it next year!
We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving not destroying human life. Therefore I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.
It is false to suggest that medical breakthroughs come only through government research.
Historic changes and challenges. Breakthroughs in human knowledge and opportunity. And yet for vast numbers across the globe the daily realities have not altered.
What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: 'Crumbs have I made a mistake here?' If you don't have that continuously you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours.
