Hi! I wanted to reply right away to clear up a couple of points:
1. I am not spamming! Ok, so I don't really know the definitions
of spamming, but I think it means dropping lots of information
indescriminantly everywhere and not following up. That's not
me.
2. No, I do not know anyone personally with SB. That does not
mean I don't care.
3. I am not from North Carolina. But as we go along, you'll see
why I have contacted you.
4. I am not a lobbyist, nor do I work for a biotech company. I am
an advocate, i guess, for those who will be afffected by this
Brownback Bill, which just so infuriated me I had to do
something. That's why I am trying to get the word out to the 12
states whose Senators are strongly considering backing this bill.
My Senator is against it. It wasn't enough for me to just be glad
about that!

Now, most importantly- how does this research pertain to SB? I
will get you some answers and some links as fast as I can. I
have piles of them to sort through, but I wanted to write
immediately first.
Some basic sites? www.nih.org, or there are great articles on
www.nejm.com (do a search on thier site)
