Stem Cells Treat Spinal Injuries and Brain Tumors

Posted by michael on from the weapons-of-mass-healing dept.

Neil Halelamien writes "At the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting this past weekend, some very exciting results (from experiments on rats and mice) were discussed regarding the potential for human embryonic stem cells to treat injured spinal cords, brain tumors, and Parkinson's. Besides the possible health benefits, this adds fuel to the discussions leading up to the US election and the US's current attempts to have the UN ban therapeutic cloning worldwide."

    Your points are valid, but the way you present them means a lot of people will not take you seriously. Please work on your grammar, punctuation and the structure of your posts.

    It's no surprise when some troll gets mod points and uses them to whine out loud. But 'Offtopic'? That's when you know it's just a desperate little kid. Fortunately someone will probably spot this in meta-moderating and someone else will lose their points. Too bad, eh?
