It’s not the kind of stem cells the left wants you to think it is, though:

A CURE has been found for ­diabetes, meaning that patients could soon be able to stop taking ­insulin injections just to stay alive.

The breakthrough treatment, ­using stem cells made from human bone marrow, is being used on ­patients suffering from Type 1 ­diabetes, a chronic condition affecting about 900,000 people in Britain.

The drug could be on the ­market in less than two years.

Early trials show the drug, ­Prochymal, can stop the immune system destroying the pancreas.

Stem cells in the new drug form a barrier to protect the pancreas from attack, allowing it to recover and to continue ­making insulin.

One of the US researchers, ­Professor Aaron Vinik, a hormone specialist based in Virginia, said: “This is a very exciting discovery.

It sure is exciting…to everyone except liberals, that is. For years, now, we’ve heard nothing but how embryonic stem cells are the miracle cure of all miracle cures and that we should pour all of our time, effort, and money into that. To date, however, ESC’s are capable of curing…nothing. That’s right. We’ve been doing research (don’t let the left tell you otherwise), but there’s no “there” there. That’s not to say there won’t be results someday, but right now most of the advances are being made in other areas, mainly those using adult stem cells or stem cells from cord blood and such.

The left doesn’t care a fig about finding a cure for anything with embryonic stem cells, make no mistake. All they want to do with this issue is settle, once and for all, whether a fetus is a human life or not. That’s why they’re fighting tooth and nail for this kind of research.
