My sympathies. This is tragic. I hope the therapy and the research has benefits for Lucy and for other people.

A few questions....

The paper under review at Nature [0] makes it clear, by omission, that Lucy Ackman could not consent to this therapy. The only response the doctors describe from her is a temporary increase in the degree of her pupillary response to light after the therapy.

She suffered a brain injury (caused by a hemorrhage), which has badly impaired numerous critical functions. Which implies that a large area of her brain was affected. But they are not injecting mitochondria into her brain. Why?
