My boyfriend Terry has Muscular Dystrophy and it worries me. People with MD sleep a lot. I wish, hope, and pray they will find a cure for Muscular Dystrophy soon!!

I believe his views on the age limit before real progress was made for DMD, DMD is a particularly lethal form that targets the heart. I was very thankful to hear all I had was limbgirdle, better to lose walking and lifting than to live the life DMD results in.

Yes, it holds the most promise in repairing genetic mutations causing diseases like muscular dystrophy and so many more other diseases. But it's the mindset that we can control our evolution and enhance ourselves that has blocked this road to preventing loss of life and destruction of quality of living for years. It's unfortunate, because if people weren't so greedy the progress on this field of medicine could have been so much greater than it is.

This is freaking cool! Just imagine, gene therapy in the future could help cure many diseases, and perhaps enhance our genome! we could control our evolutionary path! WOOT

Doesn't Stephen Hawking have muscular dystrophy? He's like, in his 60's.
