Transmitted from person to person... - bjcheung77 - 01-29-2024
People should not be treated like 'lab rats' for the sake of science, I don't know what these scientists were thinking... In this or several case, it's actually dead person to a live person after receiving medical attention... I wonder if Alzheimer's is linked to other types of donors as well, outside of what's been informed of this article.

This particular treatment would have been especially risky as it sounds like the the recipients of the growth hormone likely received doses from dozens of cadavers, only one of which would have needed to have the disease protein, as opposed to getting a donation from a single donor.
