Indian doc stems ahead...

Dr. Geeta Shroff, a doctor in Delhi, has said that she has transplanted embryonic stem cells into nearly 100 patients suffering from degenerative brain disorders and paralysis.

To quote her...
"The results have been good. Patients have improved. They have had no deterioration and no side effects."
She said she had used extra embryos generated by clinics, which offer test-tube baby services, as the source of the stem cells.

Well, her results haven't been verified yet, but either way, it leads to some interesting questions...
