I posted an entry at Secondhand Smoke a bit ago about a tremendous breakthrough in which adult stem cells have apparently successfully treated serious liver disease in humans. Michael Fumento adds more details here. And, he points out, the mainstream media has all but ignored the breakthrough, since adult stem cells are “politically incorrect.” He is so right. His kicker: “Therapeutic progress with adult stem cells will continue to come fast and furious. Just when the public will be allowed to hear about it is another thing entirely.”
The media’s refusal to fully report on the many successes of adult stem cells is journalistic malpractice with malice aforethought.
