You are welcome. I am not convinced that this is a viable option for the research, but time will tell. I am hopeful that this research can bridge the gap between the potential of embryonic stem cells and the right to life for the innocent embryo. I have a grandfather suffering from Alzheimers, so I have been very interested in the potential of both adult and embryonic stem cells. Any benefits will be too late to help him, but I would love to keep others from the same fate.

I just can't see taking an innocent life as justifiable for any reason. This research at least indicates that we are working toward the right goal.

Thanks for the very informative discussion. That was great!

I have a family member which could be helped with a break through. To date, I've been fully behind Adult stem cells and very opposed to embryonic. This may open a new avenue and the researcher's should be commended for attempting to find a way to preserve life.

I still think the MSM has given the adult stem cells the 'short end of the stick' in their coverage, but what else is new.

Don't give up on a possible cure for your grandfather ... scientists are trying to get a drug into trials that acts like a cleansing agent in the brain, to dissolve through normal body functions the material which forms the brain gnarls. During a normal lifetime, your brain dissolves the material which forms tangles in Alzheimers, and something goes awry in Alzheimers that stops this normal dissolving process.
