I'd go for broke and shoot the whole wad on #2. -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of mackenzie Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 8:23 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: little poll hi all, i am curious about something. let's say you had $10m (number chosen at random) to donate to PD research, and just for this little inquiry, let's say there are only two areas of research that you can fund. those areas are: 1) research into alleviating some of the non-motor problems of PD - for example, sleep disorders, depression, fatigue, pain, and i am sure there are more or 2) research into finding treatments that achieve something close (though not necessarily 100%) to the degree of symptom relief that l-dopa provides but will never cause dyskinesias (or any comparably disabling side effect) you can allocate your $10m any way you want - all in #1, all in #2, or divided between them in any ratio you like. how would you allocate your $10M? thanks for playing, mackenzie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
