Stem Cell Treatment Found Effective For Rare Brain Disorder 43
sciencehabit writes "Four young boys with a rare, fatal brain condition have made it through a dangerous ordeal. Scientists have safely transplanted human neural stem cells into their brains. Twelve months after the surgeries, the boys have more myelin—a fatty insulating protein that coats nerve fibers and speeds up electric signals between neurons—and show improved brain function, a new study in Science Translational Medicine reports. The preliminary trial paves the way for future research into potential stem cell treatments for the disorder, which overlaps with more common diseases such as Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis."

That might be true, but the scientific community should never have their hands tied behind their back because of religious superstitions.

And the government should never take money from people to pay for something they're religiously opposed to.
NOTE: I'm not arguing with parent, I'm saying that both his statement and mine are how it should be.
