Teen May Walk Again After Adult Stem Cell Transplant, Opposes Embryonic
Waverly, IL (LifeNews.com) -- Teenager Jacki Rabon was paralyzed from the waist down a couple of years ago in an automobile accident. She thought her life was over until the pastor of her church watched a television special about adult stem cell transplants using stem cells taken from a patient's nose. After her church raised funds for her, Rabon went to Portugal to have the surgery. She's already been able to walk some with assistance and her goal is to be able to walk with the use of crutches by the end of the year. The procedure Rabon had in Portugal is called olfactory mucosa transplantation and involves removing cells from the nerve that transmits the sense of smell to the brain, according to Baptist Press. Because of how adult stem cells have already helped her, Rabon told BP she thinks embryonic stem cell research is wrong. “I’m still really against abortion, so I’m not for embryonic stem cell therapy. But anything else that doesn’t involve killing a baby is great,” she said. “I think they should do [olfactory transplantation] in the States because it's just from my own body.”



yeah......

Currently, the score of adult vs. embryonic stem cell research is: 65 different diseases treated by Adult stem cell therapy... versus, ZERO treatments with embryonic stem cell therapy, with only "supposed" advances decades into the future..... which one of these sounds more promising?
