Why Support Embryonic Stem Cell Research?
Embryonic stem cell research has significant scientific and therapeutic potential for people living with Parkinson’s disease. While replacement of human dopamine producing neurons may be one therapy resulting from additional embryonic stem cell research, many avenues of Parkinson’s research will benefit from this research. Researchers will be aided in studying the causes of Parkinson’s, developing more accurate models to improve our understanding of the disease, and, ultimately, halt the unrelenting neurological degeneration and loss of quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s.
