Human Stem Cells Are Found to Help Ratsâ€™ Vision
Published: September 21, 2006

Pointing the way to a possible clinical use of human embryonic stem cells, researchers have improved vision in rats suffering from a disease similar to age-related macular degeneration.

The scientists, at Oregon Health and Science University, used human embryonic stem cells that had spontaneously converted into the special cells that line the base of the retina. The cells, which support the light-sensing rod and cone cells above them, are damaged in some forms of macular degeneration.

Wait a minute. HUMAN embryonic stem cells? If the embryos are human, surely a pre-born child at any stage of a pregnancy is human too.

Thanks, NYT.
