Susan, Thanks so much!  The bottom line is, though, that the article was
generated by a variety of people in different kinds of professions who
all care about consumer health information.  That #9 was developed by
our medical ethicist!  It's wonderful for me to have such an amazingly
good advisory group to give me help.

I'm copying the advisory group because I want them to know just how
valuable they are!
