magically fixing the cord would still not allow someone to immediately stand/walk b/c of muscle atrophy and contractures. Much rehab would be required.

There's nothing in the article that claimed she immediately started to walk after having her spinal cord fixed. The whole thing was arranged at a press conference, which suggested that she wasn't exactly straight out of the operating room.

something about it just doesn't sound right to me...I would love it if it turns out to be true b/c I believe that embryonic use is wrong and b/c I have an interest in spinal cord injury rehab. but there were a number of subtle things in this article that makes me question the authenticity
when it is reproducible I will believe it.
