God is judge; let him do his job

To the editor:

This letter is in response to the letter from Sally White regarding the stem-cell surgery for Jim Trickey and David Landewee. Thank you for your positive opinion on the surgery these young men recently had in China. Those cells probably would have been trashed. I doubt that anyone in Jim or Dave's shoes would have turned away from the chance to see their children grow up or play ball or walk a daughter on her wedding day.

I understand Jim is doing well. Dave is taking steps with the assistance of leg braces and a walker plus other changes in his bodily functions. I know, because I am his mother.

Those of you who are writing against this procedure, please don't judge. God is the judge, so let him do his job.

Thank you, Sally White, for your support.

Michael W. Thies, I hope you are never put in a position to have to make this decision for yourself or a family member.

PEGGY LANDEWEE, Liberty, Mo.
