Not directly answering your question but interesting background.

Stem Cell of America (formerly called Medra, Inc.)

The chief American commercializer of embryonic stem cell therapy is William C. Rader, M.D., a psychiatrist in Malibu, California, who used to run Rader Institute clinics that specialized in treating eating disorders. For $25,000 (wired in advance), Rader will arrange for treatment at his Mexican clinic. In the past, he has also done business under the names Mediquest Ltd., Czech Foundation, Dulcinea Institute, Ltd., and Medra, Inc. A message posted to the Yahoo StemCells group indicates that before he opened his own clinic (in 1997 in the Bahamas), Rader escorted patients to the Ukraine clinic. Like EmCell, Rader has claimed that his fetal stem cell treatment is not antigenic and has no side effects. .......

Thanks - he sounds a real (nut) case.

Sounds like he could do with a dose of his own medicine.

we could find out from the NIH but it's closed now because of the Gov. shutdown. Saw a Representative talking on CNN yesterday about how we need more research in diseases like Parkinson's instead of this shutdown and resulting chaos.
