YouTube video (creator: Joy Kong, MD) addressing whether embryonic stem cell treatments are permitted in the United States. The speaker states that embryonic stem cell treatments are not offered outside of clinical studies in the U.S., distinguishes those from treatments using a patient’s own stem cells or birth-tissue, and notes that some overseas clinics do use embryonic stem cells.
Are you killing babies if you're doing stem cells? So the truth is that no one is killing babies. Not in the United States, as far as I know. In the US if you want to conduct embryonic stem cell treatments, you cannot do that unless it's under a clinical study. Any of the providers who are just providing treatments as tissue transplants, right? Either using a person's own stem cells or using something from the birth tissue or from another person. There' involvement with embryonic stem cells. But in overseas clinics, there are clinics that actually use embryonic stem cells.
