Anyway, Tony's article is too long on the history and too short on the cures. It is better to introduce points of interest at the outset and move the historical material to a latter part of the article. In the previous post the last 3 links don’t work.

However it is important to note we need a lot more studies on this. The recent review Brazel and Rao on Stem Cells and Aging (2005) provide a balanced review of both the positive and negatives in this area http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/pdf/10.2217/1745509X.1.1.49 They indicate the growth of undifferentiated embryonic stem cells can lead to tumor development but at the same time see significant advantage in the use of embryonic stem cells rather than aged stems cells taken from the person themselves.

This is an exhaustive, yet quite interesting account of the stem cell possibilities for AD. If stem cell research has the potential to save millions of lives and to improve the quality of life for countless sufferers, then why do the religious right oppose it so greatly (even for cells derived from non-aborted sources)? <B>INSPIRED READER</B> Great work!
