    Paralyzed woman walks again after stem cell therapy

    A South Korean woman paralyzed for 20 years is walking again after scientists say they repaired her damaged spine using stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood.

    Hwang Mi-Soon, 37, had been bedridden since damaging her back in an accident two decades ago.

    Just think if the Christian Fundamentalists had their way she would still be in a wheel chair praying for Jesus to heal her..

                      The use of stem cells from cord blood could also point to a way to side-step the ethical dispute over the controversial use of embryos in embryonic stem-cell research.

                                  well they are looking at getting those same stem cells from fat sucked out during liposuction - so hopefully soon we can all enjoy the benefits. I have diabetes and this would pretty much put an end to it.

                                                      You would be wrong. They don't like stem cell research for a reason, and its not because they don't like people being healthy, its because they don't believe in using the fetus to perform stem cell research when there are several other ways to do stem cell research.

                                                      Did you know that? I think the bone can even be used for stem cell research. Imagine that.

                                                              Scientists don't want to use fetuses. They want to use embryos. There's a big difference between a microscopic bundle of cells and a partially-formed baby (except to religious fundamentalists). The reason science wants to use embryonic stem cells over adult stem cells is that embryonic stem cells are more flexible because they havent decided what to be yet. If you're harvesting from bone or fat or wherever, you're too late to get the cells that have the greatest potential. It's great that they are able to use the umbilical cord to help this woman and others, but humanity will not know just how much we can do until we go the source and exhaust all the possibilities of embryo cells.

I can't see why so many people are against cloning either as far as body parts go. Think how many people could be saved if you could just grow a new heart or liver in the lab.

                                                                                                                  Then again we would probably over populate the planet real quick if everyone could live..
