I’ll go out on a limb and guess these are adult stem cells since the “journalist” left out the detail.

I am essentially blind in one eye, I have scar tissue which blocks center vision.
My optimologist(sp) says I can have a single injunction of stem cells into the scar tissue which will eliminate or greatly reduce the damaged tissue.
I refused because the stems cells are from aborted babies.
I'd rather be blind than complicate in an abortion.

But I was always told that the only way stem cell research could succeed was with American taxpayers’ dollars.

Tremendous.

I had heard about five years ago that within 12 years there will be no neurological disease that cannot be cured.

Looks like they’re making headway on blindness.

And they did it without 0bamacare - who’da thought?

We can all close our eyes and visualize a scene in our minds, real or not.

What do people completely blind from birth see in their mind’s eye?

The procedure involves taking a single stem cell from an embryo and growing it into a “patch” of cells that can be transplanted into the eye.

Horrifying. The West is much worse than previous cultures which sacrificed their children to Moloch.

crap headline.

they hope to reverse vision loss in people with age-related macular degeneration... gets headlined into a cure for blindness.

From the article

a previous Moorfields trial in which 40 AMD patients were treated with cells taken from their own eyes, as opposed to embryonic stem cells, showed encouraging signs.

Afterwards, said Da Cruz, some of these patients were able to read and drive again. However, he added, in the long run, stem cells are preferred for this type of procedure due to the complexities of transferring eye cells and the ease with which stem cells could be produced

It looks like some researchers prefer to consider ease rather than ethicalness.

Yet another screaming British headline about a “cure.” If the headlines are this sensational about a “maybe” cure, image what they would be about a “real” cure.

But think about it; when is the last time you saw such a headline? People have been running for the cure, walking for the cure, dancing for the cure for 50 years (check out muscular distrophy) and yet those headlines announcing a real cure just don’t exist.

I wonder why.

This is embryonic stem cell technology.

Yep, party to Generation Guppy - devour the young and QUICKLY before they are big enough to shoot back!
