  • Michael a true hero

  • poor michael. the PD symtom of slurred speech is really starting to show. keep fighting mike!!

  • Adult stem cells can cure IPS but that doesn't mean they can do anything for PD. Though embryonic stem cells do have a risk of becoming tumorous, by their nature they have a lot more potential to treat more systems. One can argue(as many do, I'm sure) that if people would allow more opportunities to study and test embryonic stem cells, a way to solve the problem of tumors would be found already, while adult stem cells, though they have the genes, don't have the physical ability to treat as many.

  • Thank you for posting this!!! :)

  • Fox supports brain tumors, apparently. Don't his people tell him that embryonic for Parkinson's resulted in 100% subects w/brain tumors within 10 wks? That adult stem cells yielded 'functional recovery', or iPS treated animals were basically cured without tumors (and the latter 2 would be federally funded, more quickly to clinical trails - and insurance covered?) Once again Shaheen uses people's pain for political gain.
