ex_banana-eater Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200411/kt2...17575710440.htm A team of Korean researchers claimed Thursday they had performed a miracle by enabling a patient, who could not even stand up for the last 19 years, to walk with stem cell therapy. During a press conference, the scientists said they had last month transplanted multi-potent stem cells from umbilical cord blood to the 37-year-old female patient suffering from a spinal cord injury and she can now walk on her own. This would be great if it could be duplicated on a mass scale! (Supposing this is true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downpraise Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Doesn't the pope oppose to stem cell research? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AqAd Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 "Doesn't the pope oppose to stem cell research?" No, only embryonic stem cell research (because the embryos are destroyed for the research). There is nothing unethical, in Catholic theology, in stem cell research using umbilical cord blood or adult stem cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
