"know thy enemy" is a military strategy...naming them is second to that...

as far as cancer goes...in a true sense cancer can be killed by harsh tatics that kill the person the cancer invades...what is worse?

an autoimmune disease that inflitrates the body's organs, joints, and tissue...and in order to hide itself from the immune system in order to avoid being destroyed...the disease mimicks normal cells until it can overwhelm the body...

thus, the medical field has no cure nor any real treatment for the disease until it is at a point of surgery or no return...and if the treatment is worse than the disease then, God help us all...

so, after many years of studing Islam...i was shocked to hear iran brag that it is farther ahead of the states in embroyonic stem cell research and that their imans have stated that research on embroys up to 4 months is acceptable...

i believe that the Prophet Mohamed is turning over in his grave...for just like any other man...he physically lived and physically died...
