BTW are you sure you're not violating HIPPAA rules in joining this =
discussion

Since I am the HIPAA privacy officer for our facility, I will explain =
how that works. As long as information is shared that could not lead to =
the identification of any particular individual, then it is ok to =
discuss. Thus, a general discussion of medical practices, policies and =
procedures is allowable. Also a discussion about generalities in the =
system when they apply to groups of people. There is no way that anyone =
could interpret any of the information I recounted could be attributable =
to a particular person. Since we have residents come in that for that =
particular profile on a regular basis, it becomes a generic discussion.

As far as the discussion regarding stem cell research...now that I have =
read more and have discovered that a body can generate its' own stem =
cells, I have no problem with it. Only problem I have is when it's =
linked to the products of abortion (dead baby tissue). And of course, =
I'm not against the space program. I'm all for being discovered by =
alien lifeforms that know more than us. If they're out there, they're =
not making contact because we're not worthy of it yet. BTW, God is =
androgynous...neither male nor female...
