Another scientific breakthrough produced by stem cell research that doesn't require destroying human embryos

This is one of the most heartwarming, downright awesome stories of the year:

Scientists have found a way to restore sight to the blind, using the patient's own "adult" stem cells. Just incredible.

The Anchoress has thoughts, and points out that as of 2006, non-embryo-destructive stem cells had been utilized in over 70 actual treatements, while the total for embryo-destructive stem cell research was 0 back then and is still at 0 today. I do not expect that this fact was mentioned in your local newspaper or the network newscasts.
