Fascinating and well written excerpt. It's brave people like these doctors and patients who are willing to think and live outside of the box in order to help the medical community find answers. I'm so grateful to know there are humans out there who keep trying, sometimes against all odds. Bravo.

Thank you for an excellent article. I was reared in a physician’s home - my grandfather’s. He would be amazed by what can be done today.

I wish the anti-science people had not gotten to my father immediately before he died and convinced him to rescind his donation of his body. He was an interesting cancer case and a lot could have been learned.

I hope some day we can harvest our own stem cells and grow our own organs. I hate the thought of breeding a living being for the express purpose of harvesting its organs, though I would certainly do it to save my child. And it is what we do in farming them, isn’t it?

Thank you for the thought-provoking piece.
