But first, the action on the mitochondria could mean very big news for PD since that seems to be a key feature. Too bad most of us will be dead before we know.

As to philosophies- Some feel that our bodies belong to us and that we are entitled to do anything we darned well want to with it so long as we don't hurt anyone else.

Some of us feel that if it has not been approved by the authorities that we shouldn't.

But there is also a group who do not have an illness but who feel that we shouldn't take anything until THEY say we can. Even if we are dying of cancer and they have nothing to offer us. They say we should die quietly because they say we should. That really is what they are saying. Who gave them that power?

Ah, power. Here's a prediction- Watch for further calls to curtail these uppity patients by restricting access to Medline. Control of information is as old as "The Prince". Heck, as old as humanity.
