Stem Cell research which involves fetal cells taken from an in vitro (test tube) fertilization can produce to a potential CURE for PD. It can lead to us having our substantia nigra replaced. I have written much about this several weeks ago. Does anybody know how we can show our support to Joan and provide the necessary push to get this rule repealed? While there are no guarantees I think it is the line of research with the best potential. LET'S NOT LET THE RIGHT WING IDEOLOGUES IN CONGRESS snatch defeat from the jaws of potential victory. (As a Packer fan I have seen it happen lately ant it ain't pretty).
