My mother died in February 2003 suffering from MND.
Prior to her death she was told by the MND nurse who visited her at home that the big drug companies were not interested in finding a cure for MND because not enough people die from MND.
The big drug companies were only interested in finding a cure for heart disease and cancer because a lot more people die from these conditions resulting in the big drug companies making a lot of money.
Many high profile people from as far back as Don Revie have died suffering from MND with no cure having subsequently been discovered.
