jumping to conclusions
seems to me that too many judgments are being made in the media before the cause of death has even been determined.
even though it might be a mistake to be withholding gdnf treatment, I do not think it is rushing things to be in stage two clinical trials for AAV gene therapy - we need to be fighting all diseases on all fronts.
medical research is a risky business; if well and properly informed, patients should be allowed to assume the risk involved in ground-breaking clinical trials. There's really no other way to move the science forward.
