The Bay of Bengal is hit frequently by cyclones. The months of November and May, in particular, are dangerous in this regard.
Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway.
