Another Adult Stem Cell Success--And It Makes the New York Times!

Skin stem cells have been used to grow blood vessels. The good news just keeps on coming.

Hi - the Ap reporter Marilynn Marchione reported on this matter in the Courant (Connecticut's newspaper) on November 16.

In that piece, she re-phrased the ethical statement to read: "This method does not involve stem cells and therefore is not politically or ethically contentious."

Doesn't that dodge entirely the idea of adult stem cells, and their advances?

Why are the AP reporters trying to circumvent the obvious - that adult stem cells work, are available, and offer the best solutions to medical conditions...all without killing others.

I hope that one day they can all actually use the words: 'adult stem cells' and sound positive!!
