Strokes & Stem Cells

Texas Medical Center and the University of Texas Medical school at Houston, successfully treated a stroke patient, using the patient's own stem cell. This is a first in this country, but probably not a last. Just think, if all the money that was and is, going into embryonic stem-cell research, was spent on adult stem-cell research, we'd probably would have cured every disease known to mankind by now.

But embryonic stem-cell research is married to abortion. And by God, mankind doesn't count, only ideology and choice. One would have to question, why is American allowing Congress to allocate money for research that has not produced any cures, or palliation, only more disease?

How did the stem-cell help the stroke? Physicians removed the stem cell from the patient's bone marrow in the leg. Then separated the stem-cell and intravenously returned them to the patient. No rejection, because it's the patient's own stem-cell. Research has showed, that the cells migrate to the area of injury.

No killing, no ethical debate, an established procedure, the problem, not much money allocated.
