Carly Simon Reveals Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis: ‘I Have Not Stopped Living and I Have Not Stopped Working’

> “It has taken me some time to understand the diagnosis, to adjust to it, and to decide how much I wanted to say about it publicly,” she continued. Parkinson’s is different for everyone, and it can be unpredictable. Some days I’m so tired I can’t get the day moving at all. On others, it gives me a little more room to move, think, work, and feel like myself.”

> “It is not simply sadness or laziness,” Simon added of the disease. “It is as though the part of the brain that sends out invitations to participate in life has temporarily misplaced the guest list.”

I was watching an episode or ER from 2002 where a dr talked about patient out of a DNR because stem cells would cure genetic diseases soon. A couple years later it was gene editing. Then they just stopped reporting on those things. Now it’s AI.
