Changing the Face of Neuroscience: Are Stem Cells Really Required to Heal a Spinal Cord Injury

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Long story short.

Science is amazing. I really hope that this will be able to help more people in the near future.

Great video, I was paralyzed 6/17/08. I had a severe motorcycle accident, not just fractured but shatter my back, knee and collerbone. And I am walking to, :D. One thing to remeber is to FIGHT. It will be the strongest mental and physical challenge you could ever face. Doctors told me 2 there was nothing they could do. 10months after the accident i was at a Tony Robbins event, and i was not just walking but I walked on FIRE!!! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

Poor monkey's!? POOR FREAKING MONKEY'S!? Who said that friggin comment? There are people all over the world in wheelchairs and they have been for many of years, poor freaking people. At least those monkey's are running on treadmills. I hope the FDA doesn't drag their feet on this one.

I can't get enough of this video. This guy is a true pioneer. Now if I get crippled I don't have to worry as much.

Err they paralyzed the monkeys and, after treatment, they undoubtedly sacrificed them. It sucks for the monkeys but the pain they're suffering will help untold amounts of people, and probably animals as well(I know two people off the top of my head who didn't put their cats down after they had their spines broken and who would pay out the ass for them).
