What's amazing is after two decades most people don't have the muscles to physically walk nor the memory in their nervous system to know how to walk. There's got to be more to this story.

This woman may well have been able to walk on her own. There is no proof that any stem cell miracle is at work here. This is National Enquirer tabloid stuff.

"harvested embryonic stem cells from blood taken from umbilical cords"

Here's the secret of this story. If the cells can be taken from the umbilical cord, there's no reason to kill the baby.

This author is wrong in his premise if he thinks this will "re-ignite" the embryonic stem cell debate. To the contrary, it should be one more nail in its coffin.

Those who oppose embryonic stem cell use support the use of stem cells from umbilical cords and placenta, as well as adult stem cells. That's the point -there are nondestructive alternatives that actually show more promise than embryonic stem cells.

The researchers say they harvested embryonic stem cells from blood taken from umbilical cords

By definition, those are adult stem cells.
