With regard to human stem cell research all I can say is it is about damn time!! It very likely will not be the magic bullet we pray for but at least in that case we can move on and focus on another angle.

Jules,
I was adding Tysabri and Gileneya into that group because the numbers initially given by the makers of those drugs have been stated at around 60-70% effectiveness. As for the CRABs, you are right in saying the loose number is about 30% although over the years higher efficacy rates were claimed.
It would be nice if something came out of the stem cell research. So far it has been a very risky procedure since a patient's immune system is virtually wiped out before being given the stem cells.
