Could the problem be that the cells were cultured in fetal tissue conditions?
Why aren't the researchers looking more closely at the actual *adult* stem cells that they *actually* want?
And Michael J. Fox is all pissy because us mean old right-to-lifers won't let him get a big fat injection of tumor-causing cells in his brain.

Scientific experiments often produce results that contradict public claims made by partisans like MJ Fox. That does not mean a thing. If you read the article in Nature, you’ll find out that the tumors were caused by undifferentiated ESCs that were part of the transplanted cell suspension. This has been known for quite some time, and is not surprising. Even a cursory look at the scientific literature would have shown you that this is a problem for all cell transplantation therapies derived from ESCs, but there may be ways around it. However, judging from your comment in the post above this one, referencing “Satan the Father of Lies,” it seems like you probably don’t read too much science.
