Question
A close friend of mine is about to give birth and has been informed during her prenatal check-up that her fetus may have cerebral palsy due to medication taken in early pregnancy. However, since the fetus is too large for a termination procedure, the only option is to deliver the child. How should parents handle such a situation?
Answer
Cerebral palsy in infants has a very low chance of complete recovery, but through rehabilitation therapy, massage, and stem cell transplantation, patients can achieve a near-normal quality of life. Currently, the medical community primarily relies on stem cell transplantation for the treatment of cerebral palsy in infants. This involves transplanting or injecting healthy stem cells into the patient’s body to repair or rebuild normal cells and tissues.
