Regarding "Scientists Re-Create Stem Cells" (front page, Nov. 21): The news of stem cells being created from adult skin cells is breathtaking. If this turns out to be the real deal, no news event in the past 2000 years (save one; I'm a Christian after all) can compare.

I had felt it a few times in the past when for months I could not get out of bed without help. No doctor could ever figure it out. Starting in eighth grade, I'd be given round after round of antibiotics and after being deathly ill for weeks, would slowly recover. It would always take a long, long time to feel my energetic, enthusiastic self again but I always would. Then, for years I could go on as if nothing had ever happened to me.
