Yes, this does look like promising research. I think that another thing about stem cells is that even if they do not cure the disease, that it does look like they likely slow down progession of the disease.

I just had this image in my head about a 6 pack of little identical fetuses that one gets from the pharmacy and keeps in the fridge, and then pulls the tab off the top or pops the tab in soda fashion and then drinks the contents, and some guy at work just drinking one in front of everyone like it was a Mr. Pibb and saying, "Yhep, it doesn't cure me, but it sure makes things manageable. It doesn't really cure me, but it does slow down the progression. The problem is that I'm up to 4 a day and these things are so damn expensive and the insurance deductible is huge."


That is really bizarre and it has nothing to do with reality.

Mike
