My understanding is that adult stem cells produce better results than embyonic. At that time (maybe 10 yrs ago) I thought a ton of private money went into adult SC research for that reason.

If that’s still true, why isn’t the medical community driving that point home? Or is it that abortion rules even there?

Adult stem cells and related technologies are being tested with varying levels of success for:

-Multiple Sclerosis
-Spinal Injuries
-male pattern baldness
-Lupus
-Rheumatoid Arthritis

Basically, the research seems to suggest that adult stem cells can teach the body to regrow cells that normally wouldn’t and also to “fix” the immune system in autoimmune disorders.

Nothing has been finalized, but the testing phases of all the above illnesses (and many more I haven’t read about) seem to suggest very high success rates among test subjects far better than any treatments currently available.
