Well I dunno. In 100 years, with nanotechnology and such, we could probably do direct repairs to the brain. But there's no short term cure. It's like someone in the 13th century telling people it would be great if we had flying machines.
LOL! Did you do that on purpose? Never mind I see that you've completed your message.
Small inroads are being made in Parkinson's Disease treatment by injecting new dopamine cells derived from stem cells, but the process is slow and only partially successful. The problem there is that whatever is killing the original cells is still there and hasn't been definitely identified yet. The new cells are equally vulnerable. The bad news is that you don't even start to see symptoms until about 90% of the population of dopamine cells has been destroyed.
