They should stop kidding us and themselves when they insist that they know more than these professionals. If a doctor feels something is beneficial for his patient or researchers need certain disposable cells to experiment with, Congress should not prevent it by inventing or using a ban to force their morals down everyone else's throats. Hopefully, Torrance's City Council is smart enough to allow doctors - -- and not politicians -- to treat the illnesses of their constituents. Christine A.
