Yesterday, I spoke about the Gates/Buffett initiative. That philanthropic concept certainly makes a big splash. One the world recognizes.

Charity- begins at home?
Yesterday, I spoke about the need for us to donate to charity. Many of us do that because we want to help those less advantaged than ourselves, others do so to save money on their taxes. Today, I’ll talk about the what Mark Zuckerberg (and his wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan) recently announced- after I introduce the Gates/Buffett pledge program.

Help! I need somebody!
It’s that time of year. The end of the year. When everyone all of a sudden realizes they may owe a lot of taxes and want desperately to change that situation.

Stem Cells to the Rescue?
Yes, Japan allows stem cell research- the research that can’t be effected by most Americans. The US government has forbidden one scintilla of such research to be performed, if the institution receives even one penny of US funding. Which means that American scientists cannot use their ingenuity to produce the artificial organs that would result if they could. But, the research about which I am reporting today is actually legal under US law.

We’ve discussed the new wearable kidney and the new home dialysis device. Today, we’ll discuss an implantable device- one that replaces the dialysis device, but not the kidneys. Which will have to do until there is a stem-cell kidney replacement.
