While none of the doctors are really involved in stem cell therapy, it was discussed at great length by each of them. Perhaps one of the few agreements between these experts is that stem cell research is currently at the experimental stage and is years away from being accepted either medically or politically. It would not appear from the testimony that this is a viable treatment option at this time.
But could it be in the future? Aren’t the people and organizations (and politicians) that protest the removal of the feeding tube the same as those opposing stem cell research?
