Stem Cells to Treat Brain Injury in Children

Posted by samzenpus on from the grow-a-better-brain dept.

BigDukeSix writes "The first stem cell trial with widespread public health implications is set to begin in Houston. From the article: "Trauma is far and away the main cause of death and disability among children, and the main reason children die from trauma is brain injury...The clinical trial is the first to apply stem cells to treat traumatic brain injury. It does not involve embryonic stem cells.""

    Perhaps everyone's outlook would be different if the acclaim for the potential of embryonic stem cells in ANY WAY matched their potential. Why the drive for embryonic stem cells and not the other? To make abortion more paletable. Nice that science is so pure, right?

    The proper response to people like this is laughter and ridicule.

    Oh, and insults too. You're a moron. Grow up. Nobody is amused by your idiotic "not against abortion" statement, when clearly you're an ignorant fundamentalist.
