Me, but its going to have to be changed. All the entitlements are going to have to be changed. But we should not look at this as a meat cleaver.

We cant just say you cant tinker with it you can

Last october i introduced you guys to this gorgeous little girl. You might remember her. This is 4yearold aliza. You also might remember that aliza was diagnosed with a rare terminal disease known as san filipo syndrome type a but you also might remember there is hope in the form of gene therapy that can be tested in clinical trials.
