I knew that Cletus.D.Yokel wasn't fearing a cure — I assumed that he feared that embryonic stem cells were used. I further assumed that the fear concerned the ethics of embryonic stem cells. Those were my assumptions — so, perhaps they were wrong.
My point was simply that, if embryonic stem cells were used, we wouldn't be left to wonder about it. That point would be front and centre, in every MSM story about the event.
I emphasized “successful” cure; because embryonic stem cell researchers have not been able to overcome the problem of rejection, by the recipient’s body. And (IMHO) they are unlikely to do so, without the same regime of anti-rejection drugs that transplant patients have to endure. I don't know much about the rate of cancer from embryonic stem cells.
I hear you. You are right, if it was embryonic, everybody would have known it, because it would be the first time they would have been successful at curing anything.
I knew right off the bat from the headline it wasn’t embryonic because it wasn’t noted in the headline. Libs would be crapping their pants out of joy if it was.
