Operation marks another step forward in stem cell research

"A 50-year-old man from Trion, Georgia, is the first person to be injected with stem cells in the upper part of the spinal cord, making him yet another pioneer in the scientific quest to use stem cells to heal."

The crippling effects that Lou Gehrig's disease afflicts on the body are unimaginable. Can stem cells provide hope that one day we may not have to fear the dreaded disease named after the Yankee great? I think the future has never looked so promising!!!
