A real pro-life technology: stem cell research

Perry Metzger, on my exi-liberty mailing list, alerts us to the discovery that stem cells reverse multiple sclerosis (MS) in mice; excerpt from the New Scientist article:

Treatment with adult stem cells has cured mice suffering with a form of multiple sclerosis, say Italian researchers. Almost a third of the mice recovered completely from paralysis of their back legs, and the rest all showed substantial improvement.

He and I have a longtime mutual friend with this affliction: yet another reason I strongly support stem cell research.
