You are right Madelyn, it was on 60 Minutes and Perlmutter was shown in that video. Ironically, he was not using it in the context that it was presented on 60 Minutes. In that video, discovered online by Jaye of this forum and delivered to 60 Minutes by Perry Cohen, Perlmutter was still pro-GDNF, and was showing proof of it with pictures of brains. He w as saying that they would go with GDNF IN SPITE of the fact that it would be difficult finding surgeons, operating rooms, and wouldn't be a moneymaker.

There's your media at work...lol....they didn't feature the context in which he was saying it.....instead they made it sound like he was giving reason not to go with it. In other words, they misrepresented him.
