Hi girija,

You are probably right; there is no reason to be surprised. I was because in my way of thinking I just didn't figure another year into the time equation. I have given it thought and decided just to stay out of the stem cell discussions. There are others around to fight that battle and I don't have enough interest to let it get me that worked up. It's the future; and beaucracy is what it is. So I'm sorry for spouting off - I think.

oh i didn't answer your question. David Prentice is representing the pro-life -Family Research Council or something like that. He has a list of adult stem cell treatments that is just not accurate. It included GDNF as an adult stem cell treatment because it was to grow new ones. Do you know of anyone who is being treated with GDNF now? That's a stretch. The Robbs are a married couple who are patient advocates. Karl was diagnosed with PD at age 17.
