Pam,

I read this with my eyes wide open. It is absolutely wonderful, it will

really bring the best surgeon right into your own little hospital in a very

remote part of the world. How lucky we are for this new Technology. Every

day, something new and wonderful is happing. Thank God we now live in this

era.

Here are links to a couple more press releases about it.

I saw it on tv here earlier this week, it was quite remarkable. I'm amazed

with the caliber of work Dr. Ivar Mendez does out of Dalhousie University

here in Halifax, he is always at the forefront of research. He also is

involved with stem cell research.

Halifax also just established a Brain Repair Centre

http://www.researchvillage-novascotia.org/newsroom/pressreleases.html

And it says Halifax is only one of 4 centres worldwide that have

neurotransplantation programs. I'm wondering how that can be true. I

thought there were way more than four in the whole world. Even to be the

only one in Canada amazes me.

Hugs,

Pam
