A woman has developed a nose-like growth eight years after a stem cell treatment to cure her paralysis failed.
At the Hospital de Egas Moniz in Lisbon, Portugal, the unnamed woman, a U.S. citizen, had tissue from her nose implanted in her spine.
Doctors hoped the cells would develop into neural cells and help repair the nerve damage to the woman's spine.
But the treatment failed.
However, last year, eight years after the stem cell operation, the woman, then 28, complained of increasing pain in the area.
Doctors discovered a three-centimetre-long growth, which was found to be mainly nasal tissue, as well as bits of bone and nerve branches that had not connected with the spinal nerves.

MANY people have grown tumors from using ABORTED EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS!!! DUH......God will NOT be mocked. While absolutely true, if you actually read the article, you'd see that this woman had the stem cells taken from her own nose.
God will not be mocked, indeed, but He also apparently has a nose for humor....

Something about this story just doesn’t smell right.

Without even reading the article ... I'll guarantee fetal stem cells were used. She's lucky not to be riddled with what a doctor could only describe as "cancer". Autologous stem cells, or not at all, for me.

I'll guarantee fetal stem cells were used. NOPE! Read the article!
Come on fellow pro-lifers, do the proper due diligence before making conclusions!

That’s actually the problem with fetal stem cells, they’re too undifferentiated. Adult stem cells exhibit more differentiation. Like you said, autologous stem cells would function best.

And you would be wrong.

I'll accept that my knee-jerk was invalid ... in this instance. Having tracked a number of stem cell successes and failures, however, I maintain the fetal stem cell disaster stereotype exists for good reason.
