Interesting - they had done surgery before, but not with stem cells. 6 babies operated on, results were very good and they are recruiting for phase 2

What's the point? Just abort it and make a new one.

There are people who do not want to have abortions. Either for religious reasons, because they themselves belong to a specific disability group (e.g. the blind and deaf) or because they tried hard already to get pregnant in the first place.
Especially for the latter, "make a new one" can mean a ticket reaching into the 6 figures, months of egg extractions, implantation attempts and spontaneous auto-abortions.

Incredible to see some promising results in stem cell research. Hopefully a safe and successful application can give a boost to some other areas where stem cells might prove useful (like maybe one day we can regrow damaged heart tissue like this).
