Saw this spot on Nightline earlier tonight. It was quite inspiring.

| quote: | In the race to perfect "regenerative medicine," stem cell therapy for animals is ahead of treatment for humans because it is not so strictly regulated. It's not experimental -- it's here.
And while the debate rages over the ethics of embryonic stem cell research, doctors have made stunning progress with "adult" stem cells recovered from body fat.
They are less powerful than embryonic cells, but they don't require the destruction of an embryo. There are no side effects and no problems with rejection, because the patient is also the cell donor.
"We're kind of reverting the body back to a younger age or a younger stage when we were more of a regenerative stage," said Bausman.
In a fairly easy procedure, Hunter's stem cells will be recovered from his body fat, isolated in a laboratory, and reinjected into his hip in greater concentration than his own body could accomplish.
Linda was relieved.
"He's just special," she said of Hunter. "He's just a good boy and I get emotional, but it's cause I love him so much." |
Take that all you Christian fundamentalist whackos who voted against embryonic stem cell research. The scientists found another way and we're starting to reap the benefits of this new procedure. Science wins again.
Man I'm starting to feel like pkc now with all this anti-religious angst. :nervous: |

Religious fanatics are quite the scum of the earth. They'll scream in outrage against abortions but will demand continued practice of the death sentence.
ing idiots.
I was always for stem cell research, when i found out bush vetoed that, i thought to myself that he is easily the biggest en idiot ive ever heard of in my life. |
