British Scientists Tout Future Cure for Blindness with ESCs: What Would You Do If It Really Works?
Although successful treatment hasn't even been tried yet, I think this one is notable because private money (Pfizer) is being put into the development of the treatment--venture capital has been, heretofore, notably scarce in ESCR. Thus, I think it is fair to say that when a very big drug company puts money into a potential therapy, there is at least a decent chance it will work. And that brings up an important question for those who oppose ESCR. What if it works and bending our ethical views could lead to our seeing again, but staying true to our beliefs would mean continuing vision impairment? ESC's Potential for Treating Blindness?
