Yet Another Stem Cell Therapy WITHOUT Killing Babies: Restoring Sight

From gizmag.com:

It's a bit more complicated, but here's the gist of it:

If you are blind from corneal damage, get a leave-in contact lens and smear some of the stem cells from the other eye's cornea, or another part of the same eye onto the lens. Wear it for 10 days and repeat 2x. Two blind patients can read the big letters on an eye-chart and one who could see the big letters can now pass a drivers license eye test.

Without killing any babies.

That puts the number of adult stem cell therapies currently in use at somewhere closer (make that closer yet) to 100 than 50.

Dead baby therapies: still 0.

Tell me again why we are putting taxpayer dollars to killing babies for their cells, and intentionally excluding adult cell therapy research from getting taxpayer dollars? Hmm?
