Opinion: Congress called for an ALS moonshot. The plan for it doesn’t leave Earth
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recently released a congressionally mandated report on how to make amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a brutal, always fatal condition — a “livable” disease in the next 10 years. Essentially, the committee was tasked with delivering a plan for a moonshot.
As a health care innovation expert and someone living with ALS, I have to say that the report barely gets off the ground.
