Noncompetitive Blogging

Double-blogging: (def) - the same situation recounted in two different blogs. Michelle and I need to be careful about double-blogging. Some regular readers of my blog click through to Michelle's blog. Some of hers, click over to mine. We want to keep the audiences hooked; and blogging shouldn't be a competitive sport.

We've never had a conflict. We don't need to outline definite rules. Sometimes ownership of the story is clear. But, what to do when the story is ours? Take for example, a discussion about stem cell research in China. Sisters from Port Perry, Ontario are flying to China to receive stem cell therapy to treat their spinal cord injuries. Read about the Deering sisters .

I wasn't alone in not knowing that China was a recognized leader in stem-cell therapies. I raised the issue of product piracy and the Chinese economy . Which led to a discussion around the plausibility, in the future, to counterfeit stem-cells.

Consider it. There's a market for low-cost knock-offs and imitations in toys, electronics and medicine. Illegal copies of CDs and DVDs are not hard to find. Why not progenitor cellular therapy, too?
