This clinical trial will test the safety of increasing doses of stem cells injected into the spinal cord of patients with ALS.  There will be 15 - 18 patients in the study, separated into 5 dosing groups, A-E, with 3 patients in each group.  The first 4 groups will receive injections into the cervical spinal cord in the neck, into the region that controls the breathing muscles.  The subjects will receive either 5 (group A) or 10 (group B-E) injections on both sides of the spinal cord, for a total of either 10 or 20 injections.  The number of cells will increase with each dosing group from 2 million to 8 million cells injected.  Group E subjects will undergo two surgeries, first injections into the lumbar cord (lower spine) followed several weeks later by injections into the cervical spinal cord.
