Parents of diabetics, would you wear this shirt?I found a shirt that says "one day, I want to be able to say that my daughter USED to be diabetic." I don't know whether or not to buy it for my mum. I found a store online that sells a lot of great diabetic shirts. Like support stem cell research shirts and sweaters.
BQ: Whats the coolest diabetic shirt you've ever seen? For me it was one that said diabetic ninja, with a little cartoon picture of a ninja with an insulin pump.

Im not a parent of one Thank God! But I am diabetic and my mom would like it. They sound cute. Now you have me curious because I have never seen any diabetic shirts. I just found a site with some really cute sayings. One is ninjadiabetic. I like does this shirt make me look diabetic and Im not drunk Im diabetic.My diabetic girl is hot is cute too for a female to give to her man. So you could get one of those for yourself and a different one for mum. Then go walk in a diabetic walk for a cure parade together and everyone will love them. Not sure if this is the same site you use or not. Id be interested in knowing.

Stem cell research, yes.
Embryonic stem cell research, no.
Other children should not have to die so that my child has a remote possibility of living.
Catholics believe that life is a sacred gift from God and needs to be treated with all human dignity from the moment of conception to the point of natural death.
For this reason, the destruction of living human embryos to harvest embryonic stem cells is immoral.
• The end never justifies the means
• A moral good can never come from a moral evil
Here are just a few of the common myths about Stem Cell Research:
Myth: Stem cells can only come from embryos.
Truth: Stem cells can be taken from:
• Umbilical cords
• The placenta
• Amniotic fluid
• Adult tissues and organs including bone marrow, fat from liposuction, regions of the nose and even dead bodies up to 20 hours after death
Myth: The Catholic Church is against stem cell research.
Truth: The Catholic Church approves three of the four types of stem cell research:
• Against Embryonic stem cells
• For Embryonic germ cells (from miscarriages)
• For Umbilical cord stem cells
• For Adult stem cells
Myth: Embryonic stem cell research has the greatest promise
Fact: Up to now, no human being has ever been cured of a disease using embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, have already cured thousands. There is the example of the use of bone marrow cells from the hipbone to repair scar tissue on the heart after heart attacks. Research using adult cells is 20-30 years ahead of embryonic stem cells and holds greater promise.
Based on the "The Ten Great Myths in the Debate Over Stem Cell Research" by Tadeusz Pacholczyk, Ph.D. http://www.ncbcenter.org/10Myths.pdf
Adult stem cells are currently used for the medical treatment of:
• Anemias
• Cancers (multiple types)
• Child Leukemias
• Cornea Regeneration
• Crohn´s Disease
• Diabetes, Type I
• Heart Disease, Acute & Chronic
• Krabbe Leukodystrophy
• Liver Cirrhosis
• Lupus
• Lymphomas
• Myelomas
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Paralysis
• Osteopetrosis
• Parkinson´s Disease
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome
• Sickle Cell Anemia
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Stroke
• Systemic Vasculitis
• and more

With love in Christ.
