Is this story a MSM push for embryonic research? I can't tell from the read?
No, actually it's one of the good ones. These cells are taken from the patients own body.
But the last section of the story is a little political, they will use Dana Reeve to speak at a paralysis rally in DC to push congress to spend more money on spinal cord research. I have a feeling that macrophage research will not be mentioned and embryonic stem cell research will.
