If he did that for the purpose of a commerical, that's pretty foolish, IMHO. The meds don't give gains to the patient, but they can slow down the inevitable progress of the disease. Going off the meds can cause irreversible damage.

Great way to prove a point.

What little I have heard about stem cell research indicate that fetal stem cell research hasn't shown any success, but that adult stem cell research has.
