Joy Kong, MD, received intense personal attacks after publishing a lecture reviewing research on different stem cell sources. She presented evidence comparing bone marrow, adipose, and umbilical cord sources, but the scientific controversy sparked strongly personal responses instead of substantive debate.
My first taste of personal attack was when I published this video of my lecture explaining the different sources of stem cells. Not once did I talk about my opinion. All I did was citing research articles. I just went one article after another after. I wanted to show what the research from around the world has shown. So I published it because I wanted people to know. Well, I. Evidence is there, right? This controversy in the field. Some say only bone marrow is the best. Some say only the fat is the best. And some say the umbilical cord. So let's find out what have people studied and found out. That's all I showed. And boy, was I getting this incredible attack. Information's dangerous. Information is dangerous. And the attack became so personal, I was dumbfounded.
