Stem Cell Injections Pioneering Step Forward?
sanspeak writes "Indian Doctors at All India Institute of Medical Sciences have performed a radical new operation of sorts by pioneering the method of stem cell injections. Ishika Gupta, a seven month old girl child who was suffering from cardiac myopathy, was treated by injecting stem cells into her heart from bone in her own leg. AIIMS has marked a global first in pioneering stem cell medicine by the "injection method''." From the article: "There will now be a national stem cell centre at AIIMS which will coordinate the research and its applications. The statistics speak for themselves. After six months, 56% of the affected (dead muscle) area injected with these cells had shown improvement." Additional details on this therapy available from the Fort Wayne News-Sentinel and Medical News Today.
"... the Bush administrations religiously imposed dogma on science and progress."

Ah, yes. We certainly wouldn't want something as silly and old-fashioned as *morality* getting in the way of PROGRESS and SCIENCE
The only total F**king moron here is you, troll boy. This is about ADULT stem cells, not fetal stem cells, a distinction lost on drooling idiots like yourself.
Get some facts before you shoot your hole off.

You sir, are an idiot, know nothing of the subject about which you speak, and clearly did not read the article.
Yes, that question is, "can this technology help cure my diabetes?" Fuck you and your religion, *I'M* the one whose been sentenced to kidney failre, blindness and limb amputations for the crime of eating.
A couple cells are not human. I do NOT care what some 2000 year old book implies about the situation.

Hey moron....
No it can't....
In fact, most embryonic stem cell research has failed because it is hyper-activated and not stable enough.
Nearly all the successes have come from bone marrow, umbilical, etc.
So why kill needlessly when the same thing can be accomplished without it.
If you still insist one killing needlessly...than yes...please die blind.
And no I am not a heartless bastard. Half my family is diabetic and I will be too...
That's okay, Clinton did too. But you won't see any left-wingers writing about that.
Typical morally bankrupt response of the right wing nut job.
What Clinton did or did not do has fuck all to do with Bush, his lies, and the rest of his actions.
If your guy is such a complete piece of shit that you are unable to defend his actions, then pull your head out of your ass and think through what that means.
Pulling the old straw man Clinton out merely weakens your position.
