Reply to A cure for spina bifida? In a groundbreaking clinical trial in California, 3 babies with spina bifida have been treated with stem cells, placenta derived "mesenchymal stem cells" to be exact, and the early results are very encouraging according to the scientist running the trial. by YWAK98alum
Spina bifida kid here, I’m 38. Only live to 20? That ain’t real. I have a bladder made of my intestines, more surgeries than I can remember (20+).

They have been doing corrective surgery in the womb for awhile. For me, this is my life, I know nothing else. I find it hard to believe anything is going to fix nerve destructing. I had a grapefruit size tumor at the base [L4] of my spine, it was a spaghetti mess, I don’t see anything fixing that. Bad nerves, bad muscles. Ain’t no quick fix.
