“The actual cells that we transplanted, the human cells, are the ones that are making myelin. We're extremely excited about these cells.”
Aileen Anderson
“Making a human embryonic stem cell, even from a nuclear transplant from an adult, in no way demonstrates that the embryo is going to be viable. I don't think there's a substantive ethical issue here - or a substantive scientific issue.”
Glenn McGee
“These cells have never been transplanted into a human being before, nor anything like them. These are uncharted waters.”
Martin McGlynn
“While the first human organ transplant was performed 50 years ago, it was the arrival of the drug cyclosporine that vastly improved transplant survival rates and helped make transplantation the almost routine procedure it is today. That development offered hope to thousands of patients suffering from failing kidneys, livers, and hearts.”
John Davis
“We transplant the cells on a scaffold that keeps them alive, then directs them to leave in a controlled manner and migrate into the surrounding tissue. This is the first time that has been done.”
David Mooney
“Organ transplants are best left to the professionals”
Nancy Cartwright
“Strange medical news from Pakistan: A man had a successful organ transplant with a dog. They gave the man a do's organ. In a related story today, Keith Richards was seen chasing a mailman.”
