Stem cells are still in the office, Brainstorm are trialling stem cells for ALS, heaven only knows what the self proclaimed "world leading" Brits are doing, (don't mention bloody Dolly the sheep). Probably the usual testing to destruction in the offices with no idea or inclination of how to send it out to the real world. Still good for the sheep of this world to know there is a kidney out there for them if they need it.

The worlds only super power to me, an outsider, still seems paralysed by the hangover of the Bush administration where stem cells are concerned. Where Arnies billions of California taxes went on this subject is best left unmentioned.

Korea, still lacking credibility following the debacle.

Ho hum, still we may have a cure in 5 years, say that every year and one year we will get it right.

Hi Neil, I completely agree with you. In any case, I feel hopeful and confident, for example, about the last great works, made ​​by Dr. Lorenz Studer and his international colleagues (www.neurostemcell.org), as well as on the work are leading in Sweden, Drs Olle Lindvall and Anders Bjorklund. Maybe not tomorrow, but I think very soon begin to test even in humans with PD.
Furthermore, what else could we ever do, except hope?
