More Fun with Stem Cells!

They appear to be repairing some effects of Multiple Sclerosis. Sweet!

And don't let anyone trick you into killing embryos for this treatment, either:

The immune systems were then replenished with so-called haemopoeitic stem cells -- extracted from the patient's bone marrow -- capable of giving rise to any form of mature blood cell.

We have yet to see much of any sort of promise from the products of embryo destruction, on the other hand... which I think makes a lot of karmic sense.

Another Chance for Stem Cells

... but NOT embryonic ones. Those grow hair and teeth and tumors. Gross.

Adult stem cells - found all over the human body, it turns out, are a possible fix for this poor girl's disease, as well.

Forget the "Bush hates science" propaganda - even from Dr. Dean - and look at the facts: regular stem cells are much more productive than embryonic ones, outside of, say, growing an embryo into a baby!

I'll have to update more as I dig up the old links to REAL stem cell stories...
