Your own stem cells from your own body which may (can?) regenerate damaged parts of your body, and people are against this.

Why are we allowing these people who are anti-science to control our governments, there can't be that many of them out there, or maybe more of them vote than we do.

I want the option to have such a treatment, I want everyone to have that option. If you choose not to it's OK but don't decide for me.

Actually, I don't think anyone is. See my comment:

I mean people in general, not this specific post discussing it, and more often than not the religious right in the USA.

I've never heard anyone, "religious right" or otherwise, complaining about the use of adult stem cells. The problem people have is with embryonic stem cells gotten by killing embryos, and thus not from your own body.

So, again, I don't think anyone has any problem with the procedure described in this article. And certainly there are no unusual legal restrictions on it in the U.S.
