Stem Cell Sonnet

"If you asked me to sacrifice my daughter So that I could live just a little bit longer, Then I'd have to say you're just treading water. You really can't swim in this world like a father." "If you asked me to sacrifice my daughter So that I could live just a little bit longer, Then I'd have to say you're just treading water. You'd kill all the earth just to feel a bit stronger." 'I'd never ask you to snuff your daughter. I feel your pain, I feel it also. My daughter with Parkinson's is just treading water, With stems she could swim and live even more so.' The battle for a future, the battle is here. Poor people without health care, do you even care?
