Embryo cells would never be used for two reasons : ethics and the fact the cells are like a Ferrari without brakes. In his situation, that does not really matter. One stem cell injection from the hip bone has about 10,000 cells and not all of those are stem cells, however, stem cells from the hip - Bone Marrow Aspirate, is enough to significantly help our helps. You would not need embryo cells. At the Steadman Clinic, they provide Stem Injections in addition to your original surgery, its a bit of circus because you start the surgery on your stomach to extract the stem cells out and then end on your back, facing up. The Steadman Research Stem Cell Clinic is one of the most advanced in the country and they just found out some new cutting edge information that was passed down to me: its not the stem cells themselves that cause the growth factors, but the pieces and cells that break off of the stem cells themselves. This is literally information they found out 4 weeks ago.
One thing to note, stem cells are the future for many reasons. Its not a cure all thing, its more about the constant progression of healing over time and each injection heals you. Once the FDA catches up, you will be able to get injections like once a year and it will be covered by insurance. Then as you near your older age and think about those knees getting replaced, you will more than likely get cultured cells injected for a period of several straight years or once a year for the rest of your life. This is all possible. Ive spent the past 6 months on the couch injured researching it, I am not an MD, but a lot of MDs are not educated on it. Say what you want, be skeptical if you choose, but I will leave you with one simply statement my athletic trainer told me at Steadman Hawkins:
There are 570 stem clinics in the United States alone, with over billions of dollars invested, they aren't working with this much money if they did not think it was going to change way we do medicine
