Jim, while the 60 minutes program did show the wonderful "new you," it was about the experts' concern about virus's when transplanting from other species to humans. It didn't shed any light on the probable success of the procedure in the treatment of PD. If you are the indication I would like to have the procedure tomorrow. Your success has been very tantalizing. But is it a successful experiment generally? What is the timetable? So far there has been no information available that I have seen. Thanks.
