I am sure the GOP will come out with a statement about the DEVIL'S hand being involved in this alteration of God's work. Keep up the good work doctors. I heard there have been some developments in treating Glaucoma with stem cells.

Well, the GOP didn't make any statements about the same type of therapy when it was used at UM for cystic fibrosis. I think you're reaching for a political statement here, Stool. This is just a feel-good medical success story.
