Let's hope that they quit monkeying around with this research and move forward with some clinical applications for humans. I had an e-mail from a lovely lady yesterday who has PD and she is suffering. Many people are willing to participate in experimental treatment once safety studies are complete. Let's hope we see some progress soon for humans, not just rats, monkeys, mice, fruit flies, etc. to try actual treatments that have proven results in these animals.
