But over the past four years, Sasai has used mouse embryonic stem cells to grow well-organized, three-dimensional cerebral-cortex1, pituitary-gland2 and optic-cup3 tissue. His latest result marks the first time that anyone has managed a similar feat using human cells.
Made sure to say the mouse stem cells were embryonic. Did not make sure to say the human cells were. While I am not a biologist, it seems the other article, is more explicit and technical...moreover the particular type of adult stem cells used had undergone a process to make them similar to embryonic stem cells in some important respects...which would explain the relevancy of mouse embryonic stem cells from the block quote from the less technical article.
When I wrote and offered on line that little book on stem cells and cloning back in 2000, I actually had people contacting me to ask questions designed to blur the morality, the right and wrongness. One contacted me via freepmail to ask if the brain were prevented from developing in an embryonic gestation, would I see the harvesting of such an organism's body parts as morally acceptable since the organism could never develop into a human child. The questionaer became insensed that I kept pointing back to the immoral intervention in order to create this 'less than human' fetus for harvesting. I had what purported to be a physician call me from OKlahoma (or was it Nebraska?) and offer a minor correction to my terminology, then start berating me for injecting morality into scientific issues! When I asked if the person I was talking to did therapeutic abortions, he slammed the phone down without answering.
The last ones to realize they are serving the father of lies who is a murderer from the start are the ones being deceived into the service. They will not allow Truth (read the God of the Bible) to threaten their comfy worldview, but that is precisely what The Holy Spirit does in order to bring one to a point of Salvation offered to them.
