Adult Stem Cells Offer Hope Where Embryonic Stem Cells Offer Rhetoric & Division

By plb on October 8, 2005 1:36 PM | No Comments

We've heard the common media mantra: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) offer the greatest hope for cures; adult and umbilical cord blood stem cells have far less potential; the Bush administration's embryonic stem cell funding restrictions have caused America to fall behind in the great international race to develop effective ESC treatments.

Yet, the problems with harnessing embryonic stem cells as treatments appear to be growing, not shrinking... By contrast, the umbilical cord blood and adult stem-cell breakthroughs keep on coming.
