Dr Rene Drucker,photographed in his office at UNAM,Mexico City. In september 1987,Drucker collaborated with a team of Mexican surgeons at the La Raza Medical Centre to transplant brain tissue from an aborted human foetus into the brain of a person suffering from Parkinson's disease. The Mexicans have subsequently claimed an improvement in the symptoms of the disease.

Grafting of dopamine-containing foetal cells is intended to restore the deficiency | |
