This was reported in Science Daily. In Ecuador, researchers in collaboration with DaVinci Biosciences, Costa Mesa, California, have determined, that injecting a patient's own bone marrow-derived stem cells directly into the spinal column using multiple routes, can be an effective treatment for spinal cord injuries, which returns some quality of life without serious side effect. No mention in the New York Times, Opra Winfrey, Dr. Phil, not to mention Jerry Springer was made of this stem cell success story. Why? The cells were not embryonic. The only news stories we hear about is the potential for embryonic stem cell cures. To date .. zero.
At the same time of the above success story, what was promoted by the media, was that Geron obtained FDA permission to try using a potentially risky embryonic stem cell derived treatments for spinal cord injuries in human test trials.
The push to keep abortion not only legal, but a fundamental right is actually preventing good medical treatment. Do no harm is the first principle in medicine. When this principle is violated medicine becomes immoral and ineffective.
