November 2004 A controversial treatment using the stem cells of aborted foetuses is producing remarkable results. Many desperate patients see it as their only hope. They come from all over the world in search of miracles. "We heard that people were coming over to China and they were getting better," explains Mike Thomas. "They were walking again, talking again, breathing again." China's lax safety regulations and different ethical considerations have enabled Dr Huang Hongyun to blaze a trail in this field. He is the only doctor in the world to inject stem cells directly into the brains or spinal cords of ALS suffers or paraplegics. His work has turned two pieces of conventional medical wisdom on their head -- that spinal injuries are untreatable and that ALS is impossible to stabilise. For the first time ever, Dr Huang has allowed tv cameras to film the extraordinary surgical procedure. In the words of patient Laura Jackson, "He does miracles here."

The "pro-life" Christian couple seemed to have forgotten about their religious beliefs as soon as they became paralized. Hypocrites are always more "sensible" when shit happens to them which they protest.

This is why crazy religion and State should be kept separated. Stem cell research will do wonders for medical break through but religious wacko are preventing this from happing in the west. If you don't want to do it fine but why keep everyone else from getting better.

Going off on those tangents yet again are you?If you look at my original post I suggested your comments are hypocritical and as it is they still are.Protest against your own countries problems first before trying to fix the wrongs else where.Your boys in Iraq could do with your help.

bravo! hooray for china. glory bejing 2008. i hope the marathon runners will not die from lack of air when they try to run in one of the most polluted cities on earth. look lets just agree to disagree. china's situation is bad for people like me who fight for truth in our home countries, because skeptics can say "look at how africa or china lives, see our situation isn't so bad", but I don't think chinese truth-seekers have to deal with the same type of "usa also has poison air" ya right.....
