Expert tells of 'hellish' condition that killed Scots star
ONE of the scientists behind the creation of Dolly the Sheep said last night he was surprised by the lack of "compassion" among critics of stem-cell research into treatment for motor neurone disease.
Remember wee saint Johnstone
I HAVE a sore heart, a heavy heart. If only it was because of the pacemaker I had fitted this week. Jimmy Johnstone was my dearest friend for 40 years; a man whom I loved and loved to laugh with throughout my whole adult life. My memories of him will be as the little jack-in-the-box chatterbox, cracking the one liners, hee-hawing uncontrollably as he would say: "I've got another one for you, wee man." Not as victim, however brave, of the motor neurone disease that confined him to a chair.
