The most important aspect is that we need time. However, it is not possible to ask the government to give us time to carry out research work. In the absence of being provided with time, we are asking for financial resources. It is as simple as that.
In Montreal, for example, there is a broad group that is presently studying ALS and that has found two or three genes involved in the disease. The model is now being applied to animals. Studies have begun with a view to finding drugs and determining those genes that are involved in the disease. This is a long and costly process.
We really need money in order to do this work. For us, it is simple. It is not an academic exercise. This is a serious disease. For researchers, it is simply a matter of money.
