New York Daily News - Ideas & Opinions - George J. Marlin: Change stem-cell policy? No: "Second, embryonic stem-cell research has not produced any cures. After 20 years and millions of dollars, not a single patient has been cured of any disease or malady. Not one patient. Not one disease. Where it has been tried, patients have experienced not cures but the growth of tumors.

Third, there is another kind of stem-cell research that is even now healing patients and curing diseases. Adult stem cells are derived from cord blood, bone marrow and other morally acceptable sources. Adult stem cells have now successfully treated thousands of patients of more than 100 diseases. This summer, a young woman testified before Congress about being treated with adult stem cells for quadriplegia, Reeve's affliction. She is now walking with a walker, an amazing success for adult stem cells. And there are many more."
