Fascinating.
The only problem would be if the stem cells over grow or mutate, which I guess could cause convulsions or the like, but if it can truly cure Parkinson’s, it would be great.
Isn’t dopamine insensitivity also a problem with Parkinson’s?
Whatever happened to embryonic stem cells? At one time that was a bigger scam than global warming.
Sounds good. But.... what if the healthy donor cells decide to quit producing dopamine once they are in your brain ?
Maybe the reason the your original brain cells quit producing dopamine is because of you, not the cells.
Bah, hundreds of refugees could do this with their eyes closed.
(obvious sarcasm should be obvious...)

Dr Robert Iacono tried this, with fetal stem cells, back in 1989, and since he couldn't find a hospital in the US that would permit it, he dragged his patient, one Max Truex, to a clinic in Zhengzhou, China, where he had no problem in "acquiring" fetal cells.
The Chinese and Iacono were somewhat casual about separating out the proper cells, and when the autopsy was performed, on Truex's brain, they found foetal teeth, hair, bone...
Interesting that the inject them into the more stable masculine logical left hemisphere of the brain before trying the more unstable emotional feminine right hemisphere!!!! Humor intended.
