Looks like another blow to the embryonic stem cell crowd.

Interesting that the umbilical stem cells, which can be harvested without harming the child, appear to be more useful than embryonic stem cells, which reqire the destruction of the embryo.

Since the whole debate over the use of embryonic stem cells is a proxy debate over abortion, I expect this news will not get major play in the MSM.

transplanted multi-potent stem cells from umbilical cord blood

I'm so glad we're pushing hard for embryonic stem cell research... /sarcasm.

adult/umbilical cord stem cell research: 1

embryonic stem cell research: nothing

Stem cell issue aside, this is an incredible breakthrough if it pans out.

from umbilical cord blood

Hardly newsworthy.

It only counts if it comes from the aborted baby.

Dear Judge Greer,
What a bunch of quacks! Everyone knows that a patient paralyzed for so long has zero chance of recovery! Her spinal cord was MUSH, gone. Just look at the scans. This treatment does not fit the standard protocol for patient care! The prognosis of permanent paralysis is shown by the preponderance of evidence...and 7 of my colleagues concur...sarcasm

Thank you for posting this. Doctors Song, Han, and Kan are to be congratulated for this achievment. What must it be like to be paralyzed for 19 years and then be able to walk? It is almost like something you read about in the Bible.

Hmmm this one says aborted stem cells can cause cancer. I did not know THAT. I am shocked the MSM could have over looked that little detail...

Is this the same story you pinged me to back in December?
