Stem cells return sensation to spinal patient

Doctors at Mumbai's Sion Hospital are delighted at the return of sensation to the legs and bowel of a patient with a fractured spine who was treated with his own adult stem cells.
The patient, who became paralysed after a road accident, can now feel it when people touch his legs and he now has some movement in his hips.
And a colleague questioned my use of the word "miracle" on my blog! If this story doesn't qualify as a miracle then nothing does.
