Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey

interval1066 writes "From the article: 'Japanese researchers said Wednesday they had used stem cells to restore partial mobility in a small monkey that had been paralysed from the neck down by a spinal injury.' This is huge news in the world of stem cell research; restoring some muscular control to a simian is a huge step. This means that stem cell therapy is a demonstrably viable path to restoring motility for millions of accident victims, palsy and ms sufferers, the list just goes on."

This is awesome for all primates!

This is JUST what those asshole xtians were screaming about on the TV evangelism shows to have happen (as if miracles are real). Yet they will neglect the true heroes of Japanese medical science and go right on to thanking "god" when their quadriplegic grandmother gets the "cure" for falling down the stairs. Hypocrites should all remain paralyzed. It just makes sense.

Science +1
Religion -5

See you in hell, Pat Roberson!
