Other recent MS patients who have had Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT), or stem cell therapy have posted videos and comments on YouTube v=jFQr2eqm3Cg. Log on to ccsviclinic. ca for more information.

I agree to some extent, but scientists dont always use animals they use tissues to do experiments instead and there are strict ethical laws in animal use as well. Scientists are good people trying to alleviate suffering, they arent evil as many of the animal rights activists point out in their demonstrations. If all those protestors on the street did something productive with their time like the researchers do, we might find cures for diseases quicker.

Exactly, this is a amazing brake through and we need to keep using it to do "GOOD".

Dan Sreebny u're exactely son of the bitch. there 's a turkish lady just next to u but she doesn,t critisize PKK as u 're barking PKK like dogs just to get some bone from turkish government. now l,m asking u son of bitch >Dan Sreebny, has PKK killed any civilians? if u yes then fuck urself and prove it instead of barking for a bone. u have to go to northKurdistan to see how terrorist turkish state murdering kurds and burning kurdish villages then come to bark on here.

I think this is sad. I see the benifits but to hurt others to get it doesnt seem right. and even if in the future it doesnt hurt people/animals , it is still hurting them now.

Stem cells are a wonderful thing, but if socioeconomic change doesn't occur, stem cell research will only benefit the well-off.

the PKK-turkish conflict has its root in WWI and the land that was promised to the Kurds; no good deed goes unpunished, and that's the bread and butter of politics. The problem of turkish nationalism is not outside turkey, it's in turkey and if that country doesn't embrace democracy, it will collapse from within.

This should be allowed all over the world ... stem cell.

Lets not over look this technology.

Fantastic for the human survival and future.

Religions groups just need to see the bigger picture.

Turkey and the PKK it will be a waste of time and life if the attack goes on. Keep on

negotiating.
