Hospital Dedicated To Umbilical Cord Stem-Cell Treatment
SEOUL, South Korea, July 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The self-professed purpose of South Korea’s Histostem Corporation is music to the ears of pro-life advocates waging a difficult war against deadly embryonic stem-cell research. According to its website, Histostem “is pioneering cell-based therapy with stem cells, free of ethical problems.” Hoon Han, CEO of Histostem, received his Ph.D. from the Catholic University of Korea in 1979.

Among those conditions that Histostem claims to have treated with varying degrees of success are spinal cord injuries, liver cirrhosis, Buerger’s disease, diabetes, chronic renal failure, and dozens of others. Last November Histostem received wide publicity after televised images showed the world’s first patient paralyzed by a spinal cord injury and treated with cord blood stem-cell research taking a number of steps.
