embryonic stem cells
 

hi, This is my first post and would like to know if anyone has any information about upcoming clinical trials using embryonic stem cells for spinal cord injury.
Last year my son was in a motorcycle accident. It was his first time he had ever been on a motorcycle and he lost control, hitting a guardrail. He has a C-6/ C-7 injury to his spinal cord. He is 29 years old with a 5 year old son. His wife left him for another man. He does not expect miracles but is willing to do just about anything to get finger movement. we are willing to travel anywhere in world, as long as it's not a third world country.

If anyone knows anything that could help us. please let us know

THANKS SO MUCH!
Pat
