I am strongly in favor of adult as well as embryonic stem cell research. I was disappointed that President Bush vetoed recent legislation that would have opened new lines for stem cell research.
A website with some stem cell info is: http://www.stemcellfunding.org/ Move your mouse on top of 'Advances' -then scroll down to 'Useful Information'
If you are interested in getting involved with stem cell advocacy for PD, look further on that site ... or visit www.parkinsonsaction.org which is the site for Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) - a not-for-profit (501(c)3) - recognized by all the PD national orgs as THE advocacy group for PD.
I'm involved with PAN. If I can provide any additional information, feel free to email me at [email protected] (yes, 4450).
