Title: The Forgotten Ones: The Untold Story of Huntington's Disease in Colombia For decades, the scientific community has been racing to find a cure for Huntington's disease. This degenerative brain disorder has caused untold pain and suffering for individuals and families around the world. And yet, for the people of Colombia who suffer from this disease, the journey has been especially painful. In the 1980s, a group of researchers began a study of Huntington's disease in Colombia. They discovered that the disease was especially prevalent in certain regions, where it had been passed down through families for generations. The scientists were determined to find a cure, and they recruited local families to participate in their research. But as time went on, the researchers began to lose interest in their study. They failed to keep in touch with the families, and eventually, they stopped returning their calls altogether. For the people of Colombia who were suffering from Huntington's disease, it was as if the researchers had forgotten about them altogether. As a professional ghost writer, I find this behavior unacceptable. The fact that the scientific community would start a study and then abandon it, leaving families to suffer and die without any hope of a cure, is unforgivable. It is time for the scientific community to take responsibility for their actions and to make a real effort to find a cure for Huntington's disease. We cannot continue to ignore the suffering of the people of Colombia and others around the world who are affected by this disease. It is time to act, to show compassion, and to find a cure for Huntington's disease. We owe it to these forgotten ones to make a difference in their lives. Con el fin de indagar sobre la enfermedad de Huntington, unos investigadores contactaron a familias colombianas que viven con esa aflicción. Cuarenta años después, los cientÃficos recién hacen seguimiento, esperando que no sea demasiado tarde.
