Stem Cell Implications for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

At Johns Hopkins, researchers and doctors are working together to explore the impact of stem technology on ALS. The Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins has helped uncover new genes for familial ALS, researched nerve repair, worked actively on genetic risk factors, developed a variety of animal models for testing therapies, explored ALS biology, advanced stem cell therapy, and researched ways to counter muscle atrophy.

This is the second video I see you bashing religious people beliefs... How do you know they are not grateful to doctors? How do you know that prayer and God had nothing to with it? You don't know!

I am seriously not trying to be cold but where is the credit to the scientists and physicians??...They're the ones working tirelessly to destroy this debilitating disease; the utilization of the tools and methods of science is what will cure people of the diseases they suffer from...

THESE SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICIANS WORK TIRELESSLY TO TRY TO DESTROY THIS DISEASE ALONG WITH OTHER DISEASES AND YOU PEOPLE ALWAYS BRING PRAYER INTO THE PICTURE...THAT'S BULLSHIT!!!!
