Cord Blood Stem Cells Show Spinal Cord Promise
A Korean team has found cord blood cells to be creating a significant improvement in the condition of a spinal cord injury victim.
An article from Biblical Family Advocates outlines the improvements, noting "the patient could mover her hips and feel her hip skin on day 15 after the transplantation."
Of course, hearing about medical gains related to the use of umbilical cord blood is exciting. This article, however, is most interesting because it shows how the anti-embryonic stem cell research Christians are rallying around the use of stem cells.
The editorial, for instance, bemoans "With these kinds of treatments why are States like California funding the unproven and unethical killing machine of embryonic stem cell research?"
It is an interesting primer on the way umbilical cord blood research has possible political advantage for the right's attack on embryonic stem cell research.
