Why hasn't the US embraced the use of adult stem cells for the curing of diabetes?  There is so much evidence of their ability.  Why the antiquated embrace of insulin?

Mid-’90s research demonstrated the ability to fully cure type I diabetes in mice using stem cells. - http://repairstemcell.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/research-from-90s-cures-type-1-diabetes/

I recently went to a new doctor and noticed he was located in something called the Professional Building. I felt better right away.

Those of us with diabetes are anxiously waiting for the possibility of stem cells "curing" diabetes. As this article points out it takes many years, experiments, money, successes and failure for this to be accomplished, if it is to be accomplished at all. The United States is just one of many countries in the world that are working in this area, and in some cases other countries are ahead of the US due to less restrictions placed on them. Perhaps in my lifetime a cure will be found. I am not giving up hope.

 

If God brought you to it, He will bring you thru it.

At this point (just my opinion) is that it isn't just a medical dilemna but a moral one.  This causes the conflict I think.  It does me.
