Jim Finn's news about continued news coverage of the successful porcine cell implantation he volunteered to have is encouraging. English BBC know a good story when it appears. The opportunity to serve as a patient advocate on the HHS committee on xenotransplantation at the invitation of Sec. Shalala is also encouraging. Any research that could advance the finding of a cure(s) for Parkinson's is the type of good news this pwp enjoys hearing about. Thanks for the heads up, Jim. Jeanette Fuhr JIM FINN SAID IN PART: I have just received permission to announce an upcoming television program in which I have a small part. Back in March a film crew from England's famed BBC was here for an interview about my "pig cell" implant surgery.
