What Is ALS?
http://www.alsa.org/about-als/what-is...
"ALS,
or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative
disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers
to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment - "No muscle nourishment."
When a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away.
"Lateral" identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions
of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located. As
this area degenerates it leads to scarring or hardening ("sclerosis") in
the region."
These Are The Discoveries That Made Stephen Hawking Famous

"Stephen Hawking is probably the most famous genius of the modern age.
But
what exactly is he famous for - apart from his astonishing resilience
to an incapacitating disease, that instantly-recognizable retro-robotic
voice, and his walk-on roles on The Simpsons and Star Trek?"
How Has Stephen Hawking Lived Past 70 WIth ALS?

"The
famous theoretical physicist has helped to bring his ideas about black
holes and quantum gravity to a broad public audience. For much of his
time in the public eye, though, he has been confined to a wheelchair by a
form of the motor-neuron disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
And since 1985 he has had to speak through his trademark computer
system-which he operates with his cheek-and have around-the-clock care."
