New breakthrough for adult stem cell research

They have now discovered adult stem cells that "may have the capacity to repair and regenerate all tissue types in the body"--a capacity formerly thought to be only applicable to embryonic stem cells (which are immoral to use for research according to Catholic teaching, since their use requires the killing of a living, growing baby).

The specific type of stem cell that they seem to be using for this case, comes from living "adult" bone marrow -- a perfectly acceptable source for stem cell research.

Let us pray that this new discovery brings more people to an understanding of the value of adult stem cell research.
