Stem Cell Research: "Only our grandchildren will benefit"

[Follicle Death Row]

Well some people have been benefiting from stem cell therapy for a long time, at least in a crude way with bone marrow transplants.

22 years ago they also tried the first gene therapy for a condition called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). It worked. They tried something similar on 10 kids with SCID in 2000. Turns out by 2007 4 of the 10 had developed leukaemia so yes we can have gene therapies but let's not rush them. There's very dangerous complications if we're not careful.

He is 71. His grandchildren are probably already middle-aged.
