Useless article. Doesn’t say whether it was embryonic, umbilical, or adult (or autologous or heterologous) stem cells, which is what the controversy has been all about.

I am wondering if the whole thing is fabricated

[Gaffer]

Yes. I am not aware of any advances that have been made using fetal stem cells that hasn’t been made with adult stem cells.

They conveniently leave those sorts of things out. If you will recall Michael J. Fox (little weasel that he is) did a campaign commercial for the Democrats on it, shaking and tremoring on camera. He later said in interviews that he purposefully stopped using his meds so the shaking would come back.

They are a despicable lot.

That was my thought too

[Chicory]

Exactly. No one was proposing ending non-embryonic stem-cell research.

From this article, it seems like adult stem cells are used for Hodgkins Lymphoma treatment.

If it was embryonic, everybody would have shouted the results from roof-tops.

Exactly. Because it doesn't specify, you can bet that it was adult stem cells.

It was probably a bone marrow transplant which is adult. I don’t know of any therapy that uses fetal / embryonic.
