I would like to suggest a new forum be opened for "Stem Cell Discussion". I believe this would be a great addition to the All Deaf Web Site.
My current concern is the Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid Forum recently has had a lot of off forum posts regarding Stem Cell Topics. While I understand there is a belief that Stem Cells will eventually be the "cure" as some have posted, I have read of no results of it being widely used or being successful to a point of being a realistic alternative.
I have benefited greatly in reading how others have shared their experiences with HAs and CIs and the information helped me make a more informed decision to pursue a CI to see if it could improve my ability to hear sounds. I hope others can choose to use All Deaf as a source of information to help them make more informed decisions but currently the information is hard to find through all the "Stem Cell" talk and with some discrediting the success of CIs.
Hopefully others feel the same way in that adding a forum for "Stem Cell Discussion" would be beneficial to the site. I am sure some do based on the comments I have read in response to some of the comments.
