Last week in a post on renewed U.S. funding for embryonic stem cell research, we claimed that embryonic stem cell research was not necessary as most medical advances were coming from adult stem cell research. In support of that claim, here are two inspiring videos about lives that were saved by adult stem cell research.
This first video is particularly moving as two parents describe how the birth of their second son provided the adult stem cells necessary to cure their oldest son of sickle cell anemia. Through adult stem cells, the creation of life was able to save another life. Embryonic stem cells always begin with the destruction of life.
