I note for his constituent, who sent such a kind letter, one of our lead examples is this woman shown in this picture, Jacki Rabon, who is a paraplegic, not a quadriplegic, from a car accident and was treated with adult stem cells--her own--in Portugal instead of the United States and is now walking with the aid of braces. There is tingling and feeling now throughout her legs, and hopefully that will continue. In all of these cases, it is important we get early treatments and people get treated-- and I want to see that increasingly in the United States.
