Fickey said they are made from adult stem cells derived from donated placenta and do not come from embryos.

What? You mean they DIDN'T have to suck the brains out of a half-born fetus to harvest the stem cells that did this? Impossible!

Adult stem cells are the ones that actually work, but not the ones that fit the narrative.

I am confused. Adult and placenta don’t compute for me.

From what I hear, the adult stem cells work better anyway.

They did not use embryos because they are knuckle dragging science haters. At least, that is what I was told by the “smart people.” ;)

Sick one, no, they used what has been medical waste for the last 5,000 years to help this man and now many, many more. Placenta from live births are processed to remove their inner most lining. That lining contains growth factors and adult stem cells. Those stem cells, now this is a big word, so hold on, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to become whatever is needed by the host body, that is bone, connective tissue, stromal (muscle) tissue, lipid (fat), even skin. Crawling from under your stone, you may find that this can even improve lives of folks you know. How bout that.
