Couple fly sick daughter to China

A BRITISH couple flew to China with their eight-year-old daughter yesterday for her to undergo a controversial treatment for cerebral palsy.

Kishor Tahiliani and his wife Priti believe that stem cell treatment will help their daughter Vaishnavi, known as Shonia, to lead a more normal life.

The treatment is unavailable in the UK but a hospital in China claims a breakthrough in treating cerebral palsy by injecting stem cells into the spinal cord fluid which then flow directly into the brain.
