Welcome to the listserv, Reagan. If you have basic skills on the computer, there is a world of info, both here and on the web, concerning stem cell research. My opinions are that all types including embryonic, as well as cloning, gene therapy, etc, should be supported, and I'm glad that our president-elect supports reversing the Bush-era limitations. There is a ready supply of excess embryos which otherwise are simply discarded by fertility clinics. These can and should be used to create new lines of stem cells for research. While research does hold some promise, I feel that development of effective treatment of diseases is still in its embryonic stages. I'm not holding my breath for a cure for my PD, but I know it will come. Take advantage of the resources you find on this list, and get Googling!

Hello....New list member here. I am very interested in finding out information about any recent research advances that have been made in regards to Parkinson's treatment. In addition I would be interested in hearing opinions about the potential of stem cell research in regards to PD.
