Is there a way to fight back against 'incurable' disease?
California thought so — and put its money where its mind was —
three billion dollars' worth! And when that was gone, how about
five and a half billion dollars more — to build and expand the
California Institute for Regenerative Medicine?For some, science
excites; it is the great adventure, to challenge the impossible:
like a real-life battle with a giant squid, or the proposed
disassembly of the Eiffel Tower, or ejecting from a jet in the sky,
from a height greater than Mount Everest.For others, regenerative
medicine is a mystery — could the urge to do murder have a
genetic cause — which might be reduced?And for everyone, there is
the fight to protect our loved ones' lives— 133 million of us,
suffering from chronic disease — from America alone, a colossal
cost of $3 trillion dollars last year.An epic battle, 'Science,
Politics, Stem Cells and Genes: CALIFORNIA'S WAR ON CHRONIC
DISEASE' takes the reader behind the scenes.An award-winning
teacher, Reed shares science in stories — including the
systematic assault on Alzheimer's disease, cancer, autism,
epilepsy, liver failure, schizophrenia, obesity, stroke, sickle
cell, arthritis, blindness, paralysis, kidney failure, ALS, aging,
and much, much more.Readers can expect a greater understanding of
the intricate adventure of stem cell research, as well as the
political wrestling it took to make progress possible — that
California's effort may benefit the world.From early research to
clinical trials, America should take pride in the accomplishments
of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.Read on.
