That’s the title of a new campaign by the Family Research Council, trying to get the word out on how so many diseases and conditions (>70) are already being treated successfully with adult stem cells<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Currently the most common and effective treatments using stem cells are various forms of cancers and anemias, he said, though adult stem cells have also repaired heart attack damage, treated leukemias, lymphomas, spinal cord injuries and helped patients with multiple sclerosis and juvenile diabetes.  <\/p>\n

When asked about the embryonic stem cell research debate, [David] Prentice [Ph.D., former professor at Indiana State University] noted, \u201cNo human beings have even been injected yet\u201d in embryonic stem cell research. Published science, however, has verified the successful treatments of thousands of patients using adult stem cells. <\/p>\n

\u201cLets focus on helping the patients, and helping them now,\u201d Prentice said. \u201cWe\u2019re not even talking about embryonic stem cell research. It\u2019s not helping anybody. It\u2019s not even helping the lab rats.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No human has been injected because of all the complications with embryonic stem cells, including cancer.  In the meantime, adult stem cells, without carrying the ethical and moral baggage, continue to work successfully.  And with new methods being discovered that make adult stem cells as flexible as embryonic, there is absolutely no need to even go down the embryonic path.<\/p>\n
