24 and CJD

Kiefer Sutherland's "24" series ended with the hope that his daughter's stem cells would cure the deadly pathogen he was exposed to. That has to happen in order for the series to continue next season, which it is slated to do. The doctors said he was in the last stages of the disease and was dying. In reality, he wouldn't be able to walk, talk normally or think clearly. Even if he were to be saved, he would be a shell of a person because this disease (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease)destroys the brain, which can't regenerate itself. I watched two people die from this disease, and there's no way he'd be normal again. There should have been an acknowledgement about the reality of this disease and where to go for help or to donate - cjdfoundation.org. Any donation is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
