I'm Eric Merola, director of "The God Cells".
I’ve been making documentary films that explore innovative and disruptive medical technologies for 12 years. “The God Cells” is my 4th documentary, which explores fetal stem cell therapy, with a primary focus on EmCell, in Kiev, Ukraine—because there is literally no other institution on earth doing this, and Ukraine is the only country on earth this therapy is legal and regulated. In addition to being a journalist in this effort, I am also a fetal stem cell patient. A sequel is now in production in 2023, entitled “UKRAINE: FETAL STEM CELL PIONEERS”.
What an experience.
Since 2016, I have traveled to EmCell many times: five times for treatment, plus accompanying friends and family for their treatment. I am making more trips in 2023 on production to the sequel to “The God Cells”, email me if you wish to be there at the same time, or just want to ask questions about the experience.
