Quote:Dr. Hongyun Huang is attracting patients to travel to China with the hope of curing brain damage and spinal cord injuries by implanting tissues from aborted fetuses near their injuries. I hope they don't discover the secret of wealth and immortality, which is a potion that includes the crushed spleens of Minnesotans.
I wonder if they check the donors for disease and whatnot. Sounds like you might be getting more than you bargain for. If it works, then scientists should find a way to "grow" stem cells, instead of stealing them from growing fetus' around the globe.
