LONDON, January 31, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Despite at least two previous experiments that resulted in permanently debilitating many of the human subjects involved, medical researchers are celebrating the early results of new fetal tissue transplants.
Fetal eye tissues (reports seldom mention they are from aborted babies) “seem to have improved the vision of two out of four people with a degenerative eye disease,” the New Scientist reports. However, the magazine adds, “It is too early to be sure the improvements are real and lasting…” Indeed, the results are so early that the New Scientist admits it is “also difficult to tell if the reported improvements in vision are due not to the donor cells but to a short-term process called the 'rescue effect',” an aberration which may not last.
Last year, a U.S. study found that of 23 Parkinson's sufferers who received fetal transplants, 13 developed severe uncontrollable movements. Another study, the year before, ended in “disastrous side effects.”
