Nose Cells to Cure Spinal Injuries?

dptalia writes "The Guardian has an article on how nose cells may cure spinal injuries. This technique has worked with rats, restoring feeling and movement to limbs damaged by severed nerves. The initial trial will be on people who have lost control of an arm due to the nerves being pulled from the spinal cord." From the article: "If successful, with refinement and research the procedure could be tried on people in a wheelchair. It also has the potential to heal other nerve injuries, such as those caused by stroke, blindness and deafness."

and a certain political party will continue to claim that stem cell research is immoral because of the "sanctity of human life" despite being in favor of the death penalty and the war on Iraq.
