If I remember correctly, the UK and the scandinavian countries are the more advanced in that field and have allowed it from the beginning. Germany, Italy and Spain were against it. The US and the EU are not the only places where research takes place and Asia seems to go ahead quickly. "The bigger and faster method is not always the > wisest. Fools rush in....."

No. Skin stem cells are easy to harvest and donīt present ethical questions but apparently they donīt work so well. Implantation of retinal cells seems a promising solution too but PD is not the only disease involved. As you say, it doesnīt really matter who finds the solution as long as one is found. Also you donīt want authorities to forbid people to use it if available. I should have thought this decision should be made by the patient. It is betweem him/her and his/her conscience.
