I know a fellow who beat cancer with his own stem cells.

I haven't heard of a single case of the successful use of embryonic stem cells.

Since it is a local paper, you only have to read to the fifth paragraph to find out it wasn't a fetal stem cell.

Had this been the NY Slimes, this little "fact" would be buried much deeper, if mentioned at all.

That's because the embryonic stem cell experiments have not gone well. The usual consequence has been tumor development.

To a skeptic, it might seem like a cynical search for government funding regardless of the lack of success to date.

Or maybe it's just so very much more complicated than using stem cells from other sources that actually produce results. /sarcasm
