Has embroynic stem-cell research produced even one, single useful medical benefit?
However, Adult Stem cell Research has produced significant breakthroughs such as to repair nerve damage. I believe one of the findings was being able to restore sight to a person.
There may be one or two very minor medical breakthroughs on embryonic, but there usefulness may be doubtful.
Needs to be researched...
It pays for research positions.
Adult stem cell research far ahead of embryonic
Says the only short term success paying for lab tools, learning the roots of disease, and screening potential drugs,/font>.
This quote from the article sounds very sarcastic. There are other way to do those three things -- test drugs, buy lab tools, and learn about diseases.
For examples, animals that have physiology and anatomy very similar to humans can and are used for testing.
There was another article:
Adult vs. embryonic stem cell success now quoted at 70 to 0 is a dated article -- from 2006.
That may mean it is now 120 to 0...
