Proposed merger with Geron Corp.

I am against merging the Thomas Okarma page with the Geron Corporation page. Thomas Okarma has been the CEO of other companies besides Geron and has been participated in Congressional hearings regarding embryonic stem cells and cloning, which are important issues that extend far beyond just Geron Corportaion.--Biotech1 05:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC).

Thomas Okarma does not seem to be a scientist of note.

The 2006 Lasker prize for basic medical sciences was awarded to Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Grieder and Jack W. Szostak, for work their on telomeres and telomerase. No mention was made of anybody at "Geron Corp."
