For a bone marrow transplant, they basically have to kill your existing bone marrow, using chemotherapy and/or radiation. This necessarily risks infection, causes overall systemic weakness, and so forth. I imagine the sicker you are to start with the greater the risks.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

This. My little brother died after a bone marrow transplant that was to cure his Fanconi anemia.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have folks seen the picture of Obama with his MacBook Pro? He has a Pac Man sticker stuck on it, to make it look like Pac Man is about to eat the glowy Apple symbol....

Presidents don't generally endorse stuff while still in office, huh? Because I'd love to see a "Think Different" ad with Obaman.

Funny post from Ezra Klein a little while ago:
Barack Obama collects comic books. Barack Obama uses a Mac. Barack Obama brushes the dirt off his shoulder. Barack Obama plays pick-up basketball. George Bush may have been the president you could have a beer with, but Obama is the president you could have a PBR with while talking about Season 2 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
ETA: here's that Mac Tom mentioned. Love the picture. [link]

Yes. This.
Since Lewis took the day off following his Day of Work from Hell, we went to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch. I had a giant salad and then was only able to finish half my burger (which they actually cooked medium-rare-- OMG!). Brought the rest home, now I have to hide it from my carnivorous daughter.
