I don’t think that anyone could offer you an unequivocal response to that one but it doesn’t seem too closely aligned to the developmental optimism that you highlight here.<BR/><BR/>You also mentioned Scope’s multitasking head of research and social policy (uneasy bedfellows by any measure!). I took a quick flick through Google and found inter alia the following press report from The Independent newspaper of a little over a year ago:<BR/><BR/>http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-wellbeing/health-news/girl-with-cerebral-palsy-flies-to-china-for-untested-treatment-451384.html<BR/><BR/>I carry no brief for stem cells (though some of the other disability charities in the United Kingdom seem to put enough store in them to direct no little research money in that direction). Granting Scope’s record over Conductive Education some twenty years ago, however, his comments as quoted do seem a little ironic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
