Here is a link to the Nobel Prize winner(s) for medicine this year. Al Gore may be getting all the spotlight, but these guys may be making it so my nephew can live a very long and healthy life! The stem cell research they are doing in mice have lead to the isolation of the Cystic Fibrosis gene. Which is a good thing! Maybe within the next 5-10 years there will be a cure and Kiernan will be an OLD man someday!!
