Cells To Newcastle

|
They've grown mini-livers from umbilical cord stem cells at Newcastle University. They're hoping to eradicate the liver transplant list within ten years and --Peta should be happy-- no more animal testing!
they were able to produce the miniature livers. These can now be used for drug and pharmaceutical testing, eradicating the need to test on animals and humans.
See? We needn't kill to cure. Although (sigh, typical!) this article --about success from non-embryonic stem cells-- concludes that we must have embryonic stem cells, even though their reproductive rate can't be controlled and no one has ever done anything successful with them.
Stem cells taken from the first stages of human embryo development can be made to replicate specific tissues - offering a possible renewable source of replacement cells and tissue to treat a myriad of diseases.
Scientists are examining potential treatments for such conditions as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and motor neurone disease.
However, such use of stem cells has led to a great deal of debate - typically on religious and moral issues.
How blatantly dishonest can a reporter be?
