Stem Cell Conspiracy?

While Congress pontificates and salivates over federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, some are starting to suggest there is a plot to discredit such research by constantly publishing the success stories of adult stem cell research and their clinical applications.
Oh really? A plot? When prominent scientists are admitting that embryonic stem cells have been oversold to a public keen to hear fairy tales and day by day respected journals are publishing substantive results of adult stem cell research the whole notion of a plot or a conspiracy takes us into the realms of the absurd.
If you have any doubts that today people whose lives were severely disrupted by congestive heart failure, ischemic heart disease or cardiomyopathy, who have received adult stem cell therapy using their own blood and are now feeling infinitely better, more energetic and active, then just talk to them. Never mind the politics or the hype. These people were helped by a safe and proven therapy by eminent specialists in first-rate hospitals - none of them in the mighty U.S. of A.
