Man, I don't know what I was doing taking all those classes to fulfill the requirements of a PRE-MED concentration in order to then take the MCAT's to get into medical school. I must have been dreaming. Major: Cell Biology Concentration: Pre-med. Sorry they didn't offer that where you went to school.
Anyhow, if you don't think Christopher Reeve knew what could and couldn't be done for his condition (the dude campaigned tirelessly for his cause, had multiple doctors, and 10 people a day to make his arms and legs move), you are the biggest moron around. Yes, stem cells can help acute injuries, no they can't cure chronic injuries such as his as of yet. Now can you enlighten me with anything else they taught you when you got your prestigious master's? I've always wondered which came first...the chicken or the egg?
