Adult Stem Cells - Greater Solution Compared to Embryonic

The debate over using embryonic stem cells has always been a hot topic. Many people feel very strongly about not using them because, a life must be taken in order to procure them. It is now being reported that adult stem cells are not only effective but, it seems the progress in research is well ahead and, will keep moving forward.

Everything from MS, to various heart conditions is being treated with adult stem cells. Research still continues and looks to be very promising.

Is this a surprise to anyone? I don't think it is at all. I'm not sure that you have to be a Christian, or be religious to know that taking cells from a fetus is probably not the best idea. It's just logical to me that more progress would be made by using the stem cells from the person with the ailment. This way everything matches up.

A few months ago, Dr. Thomas Einhorn was treating a patient with a broken ankle that wouldn't heal, even with multiple surgeries. So he sought help from the man's own body.

Einhorn drew bone marrow from the man's pelvic bone with a needle, condensed it to about four teaspoons of rich red liquid, and injected that into his ankle.

Four months later the ankle was healed. Einhorn, chairman of orthopedic surgery at Boston University Medical Center, credits "adult" stem cells in the marrow injection. He tried it because of published research from France.
