2-year-old gets trachea grown from stem cells

CHICAGO — A 2-year-old girl born without a windpipe now has a new one grown from her own stem cells, the youngest patient in the world to benefit from the experimental treatment.

Hannah Warren has been unable to breathe, eat, drink or swallow on her own since she was born in South Korea in 2010. Until the operation at a central Illinois hospital, she had spent her entire life in a hospital in Seoul. Doctors there told her parents there was no hope and they expected her to die.

The stem cells came from Hannah's bone marrow, extracted with a special needle inserted into her hip bone. They were seeded in a lab onto a plastic scaffold, where it took less than a week for them to multiply and create a new windpipe.

About the size of a 3-inch tube of penne pasta, it was implanted April 9 in a nine-hour procedure

That's innocuous enough right, I mean who would root against adult stem cell success?

Actually the article in the OP is not as innocuous as it might seem since it doesn't mention what type of stem cells are used in this exercise does it?

Those parents better keep an eye out for satanic urges in that girl.

Kidding aside. This is pretty damn cool.

5. Until it's the child of those that truly believe that is concerned

Then they better get to sticking that needle in the hip and growing a petri lung or trachea or heart or...


It's a small campfire so far but do you think they know the difference between adult and embryonic stem cells? They are the smartest people in the universe, after all.

It is amazing, or just an artifact of low intellect, that the DUchebags can take what we (& a consensus of scientists) endorsed and turn it around. Happens every time though.

This wasn't adult stem cells. It wasn't embryonic either. These stem cells came from her own bone marrow.

heh, I always thought adult stems cells were called that because they came from an adult.

Did you leave any evidence of stem cells?

Progressives hate science. They will only support science when it upholds abortion or promotes the liberal agenda.

No babies were aborted for stem cells so this is not that big of a deal to the DUmmies. Now, if they had aborted a few hundred babies for the stem cells, it would have been the greatest scientific advancement known to modern medicine Obamacare.

No, you idiot. No one objects to stem cell research and use from umbilical cords, or adult stem cells, or stem cells from anywhere else when the child isn't harvested to obtain them. As SSB stated, you morons need to work on your comprehension skills. It's been QUITE clear to anyone with an IQ above double digits that what we're opposed to is making a market out of viable fetuses.

BTW, DUmbasses, the way you idiots look at kids, it's not implausible that we'd see "fetus farms" for the sole purpose of harvesting. You goons don't look at children as life; you look at them as a product meant to be exploited.
