Leadbelly-- ALS Woody Guthrie-- Huntingdon's Chorea

they both take a long time, are diseases of the nervous system, and are v unpleasant, but are two very different things. Huntingdon (ton?) is primaririly hereditary, but it doesn't get you till AFTER you've had kids so we can't count on Mother Nature to be selfcorrecting here. Another 25 years and we'll have DNA repair Please, everybody, try to live a long time! (and isn't our Catspaw news wonderful!?)
