Well you know why this made the news...

A 42-year-old HIV patient with leukemia appears to have no detectable HIV in his blood and no symptoms after a stem cell transplant from a donor carrying a gene mutation that confers natural resistance to the virus that causes AIDS, according to a report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

"The patient is fine," said Dr. Gero Hutter of Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin in Germany. "Today, two years after his transplantation, he is still without any signs of HIV disease and without antiretroviral medication."

The article mentions that the transplant is so risky that a 1/3 of patients die from the procedure, so clearly its no panacea, but that not why its news.

He was cured by STEM CELLS.

Yet nowhere in the article is explicitly mentioned that they are adult and not embryonic stem cells. You have to infer that from the fact that its a marrow transplant.

The vast deficiency in critical reading skills in the American public makes these stories useful political fodder for the abortion industrialists.
