I am sure that there is a flying-pig/superman/when-pigs-fly joke in here somewhere, but all I can come up with is WOW.
If this works, wow.

I wonder if Reeves could accept pigs as a donor or that he prefers murdered babies?

Will this procedure work for Moslems?

My question is what was Reeve's position on animal research BEFORE he had his tragic accident? Was he one of the PETA crowd?
Regardless, I wish him the best.

Isn't this myelin thing applicable to MS as well? If so, this has far reaching possibilities.
First we defeat terrorism, then we wipe disease from the face of the earth.
Cool.

Give it a restI hope the pig cell therapy works for Reeves so he can give it a rest.
An unborn baby should be allowed to live to develop into child, its own person. An unborn baby's cells should not be treated and used as someone else's private cell warehouse--no matter how well-known and liked the "someone else" is.

They never needed human embryonic stem cells for any of their nerve revitalization programs. Swine fetal stem cells are a suitable substitute, they are readily available, and there are no ethical considerations - except for certain religions, one especially which shall remain nameless.

"I wonder if Reeves could accept pigs as a donor or that he prefers . . ."
Why not celebrate the positive on stem cell? This is a win. . .

Some people consider a vigorous defense of the right to life a virtue. Keep it up, pete53.

. . .and any other disgruntled Christopher Reeves observers.
"Was he one of the PETA crowd?"
Do not think PETA has a 'healthy' respect for Equestrians.
His shoes have been available for anyone to try and walk in; and he has barely used them the past few years.
Why the bitterness; reflects badly. . .with real possibilities of FR sounding like a 'DU' thread.
Am not one of Christopher's bigger or even big fans; but who knows just who his 'trials', may serve. . .and we might try and appreciate just what his life has been all about; since that day, more than a few years ago.

I can't wait to see the same people who insisted we need stem cells from baby humans crying "foul" and saying we can't be so cruel as to take them from baby pigs.

I wish him the best. Hope most of the posts on this thread don't deteriorate into mean-spirited drivel.

"Wire transmits better if it is insulated," said Jonathan Dinsmore I'm sure the IEEE and the entire power industry would be surprised to hear this. What law of physics is it that states the conductance of a wire depends on the presence of insulation?

I pray this works. Unlike SOME people on this board, I could care less about his political views; this is a breakthrough that would help millions of disabled people walk. He is willing to do this as a guinea pig and I admire him for it.

Right on buddy!
Removing the nucleus of cells that have been pulled out of a living zygote (er blastocyst) ain't any different than taking a liver or heart out of a Chinese prisoner ... er uh, 'non-voluntary donor' and sticking it in the chest of a wealthy Westerner.
To harvest from those that have no voice is downright depraved and wicked (albeit in the name of science or should I say 'convenience').
Hey, who doesn't want MS, or Alzheimers, or spinal cord injuries to all go away? We all do. But at what costs my friends? At what costs?
May God help us.
