<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=968293416-23042010>In all the debate of
stem cell research we had here a few years ago, this is one we never thought of

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=968293416-23042010>This is so cool on

of money, whereas governments everywhere are under crushing and ever increasing
debt. I have never heard of the vatican running a
deficit.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
