Friday, February 14, 2003Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who supported the original vaccine provision and said he still hopes to take up the issue later this year in more comprehensive legislation, said he would include the special interest eliminations in a fiscal 2003 spending bill the Senate will take up this month. The provision was placed to eliminate the many ill-founded thimerosal lawsuits. At least the issue will be revisited. It deserves to be. Hey: I just realized that January has come and gone without any birth announcements from renegade Italian embryologist Severino Antinori. A quick Google search reveals he's still on a hunger strike. Perhaps to deflect attention from the lack of any developments? Antinori, an embryologist has succeeded in helping several post-menopausal women -- including one aged 62 -- give birth to healthy children in recent years. But according to many, his real talent lies in the field of self-promotion. Antinori, who can be seen driving the streets of Rome in a cherry-red Ferrari and on television talk shows that usually focus on Milan runway models, stunned observers when he announced last April that he had helped three women become pregnant with the cloned offspring of a childless Arab sheik. If he knew in April that the women were pregnant, there should have been some births by now. posted by Sydney on 2/14/2003 06:10:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
