Kasia did a bit of research (15 minutes on Google) on Dr. William Hammesfahr, who is frequently cited in the US press in connection with the Shiavo case and is allegedly a Nobel Prize candidate, and found: Journalism is a joke. Because the good Dr. seems to claim a lot, but has nothing to show for it. Above all, no Nobel Prize nomination - only a letter from a congressman who suggested the Dr. to the Nobel Prize committee for the Nobel Peace Prize in Medicine. Quality journalism of the highest order.
