Good news for stem-cell research

And not embryonic stem-cells.

The National Post reports that a team of Canadian researchers, with help from another team from Scotland, have found a means of growing stem cells from a person's skin. These induced pluripotent stems are believed to be safe against "immune rejection" which are not true for embryonic stem cell use.

Now, will those pushing for the unethical embryonic stem cell procedures stop what they do? Think no? I agree. Why? Stubborness perhaps?
