Arthur Porter Dies

best viagra for sale times;”>image024Life can throw some real curve balls at you.  That’s all you can say to the strange and sad fate of Dr. Arthur Porter.  He climbed the heights in his adopted home Canada to where he emigrated from his native Sierra Leone.  Then after becoming a huge success, later a Permanent Resident of The Bahamas and an advisor on stem cell research and other medical issues for successive Bahamian governments, he fell afoul of the Canadian government that said he bilked them of millions.  He ended up being arrested near the end of his life with his wife in panama.  The Canadians pressured the Panamanians to extradite, he resisted but his wife gave into the pressure and copped a plea in the Canadian courts.  She was sentenced to jail.  Alas no trial for Dr. Porter.  To the end he protested his innocence, some said he faked his illness of lung cancer but the proved them right and died of the disease in a Panamanian hospital without a trial and with a cloud hanging over his head.  A sad end to a brilliant man and career.  He died on 30th June in a Panama jail.
