The article does not contain the word "Embryonic" so I assume these are Adult Stem cells. Of course, that fact is minimized by simply using the generic term "stem cells".

I guarantee you that some folks will see this article will say to themselves: "HMMMPFFF! That is precisely the sort of scientific advance that Bush was blocking!"

This is the sort of subtle bias and indoctrination that the media engages in and which most people do not see. Embryonic Stem Cell advances (if they exist) are called "Embryonic Stem Cell advances". While all of the Adult Stem Cell advances are simply credited to "stem cell research".

What seems to be conveniently left out is whether the stem cells are embryonic or adult.

If it is adult, then the press is still using lies and half truths to push a terrible agenda.

If it is embryonic then, my bad.

This could be a huge breakthrough, both as a lifesaver and a way to reduce the horrible disfigurement that often accompanies severe burns.

And there could also be another huge advantage: using this against skin cancer. Often skin cancers clusters together on a section of skin, from which they branch out. If someone has a patch of skin like that, it might be possible to just remove the entire area, and replace it with new skin. One big surgery instead of a bunch of small ones that just try to stave off the problem a cancer at a time.
