Researchers from Yale, Harvard, the University of Colorado and the Burnham Institute said the primates were able to walk, move and eat better and exhibited diminished tremors after receiving the stem cells.
Although the results are promising, it will be years before it is known whether a similar procedure would have therapeutic value for humans, said Yale Professor D. Eugene Redmond Jr., lead author of the study.
Maybe it’s years away from therapeutic benefits for humans, but it’s years ahead of any research involving the destruction of human embryos. The stem cells were taken from human fetuses that were miscarried at 13 weeks. From what I have read these were in fact natural miscarriages, which is ok, as long as it doesn’t lead to the justification of abortion for stem cell research.
