Stem Cell lecture
(Finally figured out how to do this again)
I am writing this because I did not see anything said about the lecture last night. I had to leave during the question period because I had to participate in a confeerence call for a job this weekend. (Never did get in the right room but I did get to a room and should be paid for the call.) And I fell asleep later so didn't hear anything after in chat.
I have my own feelings about it - of course I'm not the adventurous type and like proven methods, but then too, I feel to take a chance one would have to be in pretty bad shape. There, of course, isn't any guarantee but there are plenty of areas where they could use so many excuses such as - it wasn't soon enough, the condition was severe and so many treatments would be necessary etc. As I understood, the cells are introduced in the spinal fluid. To me, that is an area that shouldn't be fooled with (unless a person desparately needs to) Too much could go wrong. When I did hear the Q&A, I didn't hear about the failures; there certainly must have been several.
I haven't had a chance to go to the web site yet and will when I get a chance, but these are my feelings right now - quite expensive for something still in a sort of experimenting stage.
It was interesting to "hear" though. :uhm:
