Murray, Thanks for posting this news. I hope guidelines for Canadian researchers will be approved by your legislators and the research be allowed to proceed in an easier and more timely manner than we are experiencing in the US. I remember that Simon Coles sent a message to the list last month about the House of Commons passing legislation to allow stem cell research -- are there any updates in the UK? Thanks also for the good news about Michael J Fox becoming a spokesperson for Gateway. You wrote : >> Gateway said it would contribute computers, volunteers and match employee contributions to Fox's Parkinson's research foundation.>> They certainly deserve our thanks and applause for joining in the battle against PD.
