Truthfully, stem cell research is still a grey area for me.

I know that I wouldn't want to risk my Fosamax lawsuit over experimental research that might not work. http://www.rotlaw.com/fosamax/

This is great news. Thank you for sharing this. If stem cell research proves to be viable in the near future I hope this provides a capable alternative for osteoporosis treatment. http://www.fosamaxclassactionlawsuit.com
