Interesting question Nicole...it's not a "gene therapy" per se. I would assume that it's not derived from stem cells. The drugs aren't creating new cells, they are correcting an exisiting protein. There wouldn't be a reason for stem cell usage. In simplified terms, that is! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> You wouldn't be alone in your concern!

Yes, even if it could save his life. I hope it never comes to that.

Thank you, saveferris and Katie.

but ofcourse Nicole, that would have to be his choice when he got older, not yours ;-) the vertex drugs do not use stem cells.
