Sorry, Ma'am, But You'll Have To Just Suffer And Die, Because Rules Are Rules

Government vs. Humanity: This woman says that stem cell treatment, the same treatment Texas Gov. Rick Perry got to help his back problems, is saving her life by improving her multiple sclerosis when nothing else worked. But now that treatment is illegal. Why? Because the FDA won't approve it. Why won't they approve it? Because the treatment removes your own stem cells, lets them grow, then reinjects them, helping you heal. The FDA says that anything that's been removed from your body and manipulated becomes a drug to be regulated after 24 hours, which means you have to go through the whole clinical trial process and fight drug companies who want to patent your own cells. So she has to have the stem cells taken out in Houston and reinjected in Cancun, which turns out not to be cheap. There are Senators fighting to change the law to fix this, so maybe common sense will.... oh, who are we kidding, you know the pharma companies will spend whatever it takes to buy off enough politicians to stop this.
