From the story: Cambridge scientists have used stem cells that were "reprogrammed" from ordinary skin cells to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson's disease in rodents, illustrating the vast medical potential of this new type of stem cell. Later in the story: The work, published yesterday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has political as well as medical significance since it may add weight to the argument - made by President Bush, among other religious conservatives - that there is no compelling reason to use human embryos to make stem cells.
