Many who oppose stem cell research oppose the extraction of stem cells from aborted fetuses.
They used stem cells from the man's nose, in this case. I'm not sure why anyone would object to that type of research or treatment, religious or otherwise.
That is more specifically towards using aborted fetuses as a source for stem cells, which, as anyone who has looked into the subject knows, is not the only source of stem cells. So how does religion play into this?
But, that is great news!
