Korean Scientists Succeed in Stem Cell Therapy
By Kim Tae-gyuStaff Reporter
A team of Korean researchers claimed Thursday they had performed a miracle by enabling a patient, who could not even stand up for the last 19 years, to walk with stem cell therapy.
During a press conference, the scientists said they had last month transplanted multi-potent stem cells from umbilical cord blood to the 37-year-old female patient suffering from a spinal cord injury and she can now walk on her own.

Score another point for the pro-lifers. If this story is reported, however, expect it to fall under the broader category of "stem cell research." We wouldn't want to support any type of therapy that doesn't involve killing embryos. In other news, I hear that had the surgery been unsuccessful, doctors would have instead put the patient into a euphoric state by denying her food and water until she slipped away peacefully, never looking more beautiful. They would like to thank the American judiciary for alerting them to this poignant, moving starvation therapy.
