As you know, I work in theology and medical ethics, and I am SO excited about this. If it does turn out to be scientifically sound, valid,and continually reproducible, it is an answer to prayer for those who wish to see progress with pluripotent cells in addition to adult stem cells - but without destroying embryos.

Fr. Berg's piece in NRO is good, as usual.

The Democrat Party must be in mourning over this development. Another justification for abortion (hopefully) has bit the dust. Tom

Don't celebrate so quick. The adult cells were reprogrammed using cells from aborted babies! The resulting puripotent cells exhibited the same tendency to form tumors, as do stem cells from embryos. Go to the Children of God for Life website for the story!
