There have been some therapies employed for many years, which use electrical stimulation to cause paralyzed people's muscles to contract as if they were being directed normally. This results in maintaining a significant amount of muscle tone/strength. This woman must have been undergoing that type of therapy as well.

The researchers say they harvested embryonic stem cells from blood taken from umbilical cords and injected them into the spine of a 37-year-old woman named Hwang Mi-soon. Ms. Hwang, who has been chair-bound for nearly two decades, took several steps using a walker at a press conference and declared her progress a “miracle.” And a miracle it is: Cord blood stem cells were injected directly into her injured spinal cord on October 12; a month a half later, she is able to perambulate somewhat. The Koreans may indeed have made such a claim. It could just be a translating error. The article's author used acceptable terminology later in the paragraph.

The author is a utilitarian clinging to the hope that society will countenance the destruction of a human being to aid the physical handicap of another living human being. I'm not buying it now or ever.
