"Scientists are predicting a "cure'' for arthritis within the next decade after they successfully grew human cartilage from a patients' own stem cells for the first time."
This is the kind of news that MSM routinely ignores. If you are unfamiliar with the whole stem cell debate, you can look here for basic information.
What it really boils down to is this. Why even attempt to "harvest" cells from a baby when the person in need of those cells can provide his own? "Harvesting embryonic stem cells" is just a clinical term for killing a baby that ought to be in a womb in order to get its very vibrant and alive stem cells. Adults are able to provide their own stem cells from their own body.
All the research money is directed toward embryonic stem cell research... I wonder why? From what I have read, there has been much success like this London story of similar to better results using adult stem cells - only it is routinely ignored. I could not even find this article on the BBC!
It's mind boggling, isn't it? Harvesting the cells from "embryos" and removing "fetal tissue". If they can't see that they're destroying human lives, I suppose they figure all they are doing is good. I hope that God will be there with these people to console them when they realize what they have been doing!
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it's very encouraging to see progress in non-destructive tests. Thanks for linking to that story! I don't think I'd have seen it otherwise.
