For the first time in the United States, stem cells have been directly injected into the spinal cord of a patient. Doctors injected stem cells from 8-week-old fetal tissue into the spine of a man in his early 60s who has advanced ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. . . . These particular stem cells -- which came from the spinal cord of an 8-week-old fetus -- are neural stem cells, which have the ability to turn into different types of nerve cells. These are not the same stem cells as the controversial human embryonic stem cells, which destroy the embryo when the stem cells are removed. CNN
Editor: Are they hoping to slip one past us, as though the 8-week-old fetus isn't being destroyed. Oh right, it's aborted first. Not "controversial?" I don't think so. See What About Fetal Tissue Harvesting?
