Senior Tory MP Edward Leigh said there was "no evidence yet to substantiate" claims that this may lead to treatment for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Because the evidence would be a cure, but that's putting the cart before the horse. I love the way that legal minds seem to be able to grasp the inner workings of tax avoidance schemes, yet seem to remain impervious to the concept of the scientific method.

I don't mind the idea of a reasoned debate. But not this, which is carried out on such a fraudulent premise by people who so obviously don't understand the issue so that the end result has as much validity as debating how many angels dance on the head of a pin.
