A 'little' bit of hope
 

in some ways? I saw this yesterday and was totally blown away! This is beyond the 'mouse model' stages and offers significant possibilities [if the 'ethicists' don't get in the way!]

As Mr Spock would say? Fascinating!

I heard this story on TV news-- few days After my neuro discussed Regeneration.... fact that cells , nerves , etc CAN regenerate... vs old belief that it can't happen.

He believes stem cell (not embryonic but "donor" ) research, development--and application will bring new realm of treatmt potential , and the cure of many diseases.
He blames political - esp. current administration -for this not advancing more but does feel very hopeful will soon be changing.

I'd like to know why this was not on the front page of every newspaper, on every talk show, on Oprah, and on 20/20??

This is BIG news!!! VERY BIG NEWS!!!!
