While Californians are debating this Halloween about how to share the stem cell "treats," South Koreans are expecting to have therapies from embryonic stem cells within a decade.
According to a news story about a government report in that country, 110 clinical tests of adult stem cells are underway and three companies are already at commercial stages.
The story written by Wohn Dong-hee and carried on the Joongangdaily web site also said, "Provided laws on such medication allow, treatment developed from adult stem cells would be available as early as 2007. It (the study) said treatment drugs from embryonic stem cells would probably be on the market by 2015."
