CSm if this was a joke, I may have to e-injure you.

Well, here's a link to what I think the story is:
'Rebuilt' immune system shakes off diabetes - health - 10 April 2007 - New Scientist

I think the debate is a bit more complex than that, though. Firstly, though, the treatment used the patient's own stem cells. Is this use still opposed?

***CaptHayfever*** · 04-11-2007, 11:39 PM

^That's not opposed. It's only embryonic stem cell research that causes the uproar. No "potential lives" are ended when bone marrow is used.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

^Huh? Last I checked they were against stem cell research period. Even umbilical coard banks.

But yeah, it doesn't work now. Sorry. It worked earlier, and I did get the link from somewhere. -CSM

The link you posted had a "..." in the middle. It's clearly truncated.

"They" aren't actually an organization, anyways. It's like the "War on Terror". What the hell are Americans fighting? The ephemercal emotional concept of being scared?
