My Aunt had Parkinson's Disease. This is a cruel disease, so a cure would be a blessing. I do not get caught up in the politics of stem cell research. If we can find a cure for this disease, let us do it.

I
believe stem cell therapy offers great hope for repairing the brain in
people with Parkinson's. It may ultimately offer a cure, allowing
people to lead a life that is free from the symptoms of the disease The
aim of stem cell therapy is to replace the dead dopamine-producing
nerve cells with new, healthy cells. This will restore the supply of
dopamine within the brain and allows it to work normally again.
