Om denne bog
For author Don C Reed, father of a paralyzed son, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) is the greatest medical advance since penicillin.REVOLUTIONARY THERAPIES is Reed''s third book about the $3 billion stem cell program.Voted into law in November 2004, CIRM is now running out of money.Should its funding be renewed? Thereby hangs a tale, or rather several dozen of them, for each of the book''s 71 short chapters is framed by a yarn or vignette.The factual background is accurate, vetted by the scientists, but Reed''s goal is clearly both entertainment and education.A favorite example is a little girl named Evie, imprisoned in a plastic bubble: her body''s immune system did not work, and she would die outside. She joined a CIRM clinical trial ... Imagine how Evie''s parents felt — when she got well.Some stories are comical, like ''How Stem Cell Research Saved My Car''; others surprising, like the comparison between politics and the giant crocodile Gustave; others are tragic or inspiring: but all point to this: More than 100 million Americans suffer chronic disease, causing mountains of medical debt — and the only way to reduce that expense ($3 trillion last year) — is cure.Related Link(s)
