2) If they find the Cure you probably won't get it. As a patient under treatment, you are worth a huge sum of money each year. With a Cure you are worth a huge sum of money a single year, then you're gone. If you doubt it, google "GDNF" + "Amgen".
3) Someone reassured you that a cure was just around the corner, didn't they? What did they tell you, five years? That's what they tell everyone.
4) Parkinson's will kill you and everyone who cares about you. Day by day. Little by little. Oh, you'll still breath, drool, and pee on yourself, but your life will be over.
Now that you know the truth...
