“In other words they lied.”
No, they didn’t. I’m in complete support of expanded adult stem cell research, and have (unlike most here) actually had reason to benefit from treatment (stem cell transplant), but claiming the researchers involved “lied” is profoundly intellectually dishonest, or representative of a degree of ignorance that does this issue no justice.
No, they didn’t.

Thats right ,,, adult cells from an aborted baby are the ones I would test with in this early stage as they would have the least amount of genetic damage from normal aging and presumably would respond most reliably to inserting code via a virus, you have to “prove the concept” ; apparently they have this figured out and the next step is the slightly more difficult trick of repeating the same with adult cells from an adult human.
