Looking to start a discussion about the value of stem cells for relieving human suffering? I recommend the following video:
-
Innovation – Life, Inspired . Miracle Cell | PBS
A young mother, the victim of an accident that left her paralyzed, travels to Portugal for a radical treatment. Adult stem cells will be harvested from her nose, amplified, and injected into her spine. The hope is that the cells will heal her damaged spinal cord. This episode of INNOVATION looks at regenerative medicine and follows spinal cord and heart patients undergoing stem cell treatments — the tip of the iceberg in a promising but controversial field. Find out more about this episode or get the video.
