But...but...but no nascent human life is destroyed!
This is anti-science!

Whatever, I hope his procedure works. Spinal maladies can be disabling, not to mention a years-long crucifixion. My neighbor ruined his back putting in a brick garden border for his wife. Had to have three vertebrae fused. Poor guy was a wreck.
As long as no pygmy rattlers, Shetland ponies, binturongs or prothonotary warblers were harmed in the making of this motion picture.
Wow!
Good work shield.
Looks like they made him fix it.
“Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story mistakenly claimed that Perry traveled outside of the country for his treatment. PJMedia regrets the error.”
They pulled it and corrected the error, then reposted it. I didn’t just send them an email...I left several comments after the article screaming at the author. PM is conservative...and aren’t liars like so many of the others are....they don’t just make up stuff.
I am one of a growing number of Americans who find themselves increasingly frustrated with the low-tech surgical options available in this country for certain chronic medical conditions. To achieve an improved quality of life I’m willing to try experimental stem cell treatments. I’m in high-profile company: in early July Texas’ governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry underwent spinal fusion surgery. The procedure included an injection of his own, adult (autologous) stem cells.
Unfortunately for his fellow Americans whose lives would be greatly improved by access to sophisticated stem cell therapy, the mainstream media is treating Perry as it does every other American who bravely goes in search of adult stem cell treatment whether it takes place on US soil (as Perry’s did) or abroad: not like a pioneer, but a “medical tourist.” As we’ve seen before, the MSM botches all discussions of this important topic, grossly slacking in its duty to report medical advances fairly and accurately, wherever and however they occur.

Well think of embryonic stem cells this way: They replicate rapidly, and hopefully they match with the cells in your body by having about the same MHC, similar to blood types, people should have corresponding tissue types, or you could end up having serious problems. It would be great to know if they match the embryonic cell types with the person, averting the body from having rejection by the immune system, or tumors from the fast replication of the embryonic cells, but then again, there should be answers.
