REFLECTION
If you have watched the video by now (which would probably be a good idea because it has all of our questions and such) you know that Alzheimer's is a disease that can progressively affect your mental memory and many other functions to fail over time. It is commonly in old people and there are a lot of old people. If we were to do something like this for this part of the brain we could probably live longer, regrow lost limbs, accelerated digestion, and fix all of our neuro problems and things like that. If this were to happen today with this corrupt government they would go bankrupt and that would be bad? For them of course because it would be good for the rest of the population. But, at what cost? This could probably take a while to perfect and we will learn to use less and less but, what i mean is that documentary we were watching and how they were using the stem cells in the fetus’s and putting them into something else. Definitely sounds possible especially in this day and age with all of these cool gadgets and doohickies.Even if this were to go into the early stages we would definitely have faults such as brain tumors, Complete Annihilation of the brain, make the patients case even worse than it was before, loss of eyesight and other senses, and to many to list with patterns that would mess up if you were to place the cell in the wrong place at the wrong time.
