  • @semipalatinsk1 Unfourtunatly ALS is a genetic disease meaning it progresses as you age so when ur brain tells your body to age it also tells your nerves to stop working so your brain as keeping you alive is also destructing your life. You cannot cure something like this without removing a vital piece of the brain. You can add stemcells but they will slowly deteriate as much as your original cells have.

  • About 25 individuals out of 1 Million are affected by this disease each year. But since it is a death sentence, those 25 are 25 too many. And since we are all potential victims of it, I truly hope that no expense is spared in eventuelly finding a cure despite the relatively low number of people affected by this horrible disease.

  • Heartbreaking. Powerful.

  • never ok.Afraid of something happening to me.
