From South Korea:
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.
Now, I really do not know a whole lot about the whole stem cell debate, beyond that Federal money is not to be used for research in the US, and I am not even 100% sure on that. But, if research can be done with the blood, without harming the baby, sounds pretty good.
Now, she is only one success, at least to date, and more research (that sounds cold, but I think y’all know what I mean) needs to be done. Let’s get to it.
