AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the website malepregnancy.com, which is identified as a well-known hoax. Participants express skepticism about the claims made on the site, with references to Snopes for verification. Humor is evident as users joke about wishing they could transfer pregnancy symptoms to their partners. Further skepticism arises regarding the credibility of the "university" associated with the site, particularly questioning the legitimacy of a researcher mentioned, Dr. Margaret A. Keyes, and her dubious claims about curing Alzheimer's in mice through stem cell research. Overall, the conversation emphasizes disbelief in the site's content and highlights the absurdity of the claims made.

You don't need to pass off the whole pregnancy. If you could just pass off the morning sickness and 9th month swelling of extremeties, that would be good enough. :biggrin: :smile:

I agree. Did you check the rest of the "university's" site?
Margaret A. Keyes, M.D., Ph.D., is a researcher in genetic medicine and Professor of Cell Biology and Genetics at RYT Hospital. She is exploring the use of embryonic stem cells as a means to cure neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. By implanting human brain cells (grown from a human embryo's stem cells) into a mouse engineered to have Alzheimer's, Dr. Keyes inadvertently made a remarkable and startling discovery: she not only cured the mouse's Alzheimer's Disease, but the animal soon developed the relative intelligence of a human being.

The site doesn't include an address, but I suspect it's inside the Twilight Zone.
 

Thread 'New Alzheimer's Treatment Clears Plaques From Brains of Mice Within Hours'

I've been reading a bunch of articles in this month's Scientific American on Alzheimer's and ran across this article in a web feed that I subscribe to. The SA articles that I've read so far have touched on issues with the blood-brain barrier but this appears to be a novel approach to the problem - fix the exit ramp and the brain clears out the plaques. https://www.sciencealert.com/new-alzheimers-treatment-clears-plaques-from-brains-of-mice-within-hours The original paper: Rapid amyloid-β...
