Well I interpreted your post as sarcasm which I find childish.
Verbatim from the article:
The goal of this first trial is to see if injecting embryonic stem cells into humans is safe.
However, the researchers will also be looking for signs of improvement in the patients' ability to feel sensation in or move their legs.
The treatment is not expected to restore full function to patients, but the researchers hope to see modest gains.
The article is more than clear that the reason this is important is not that it is a cure of some sort, but because it is the first ever clinical trial of this novel type of treatment. The goals for the trials are rather modest and will more than likely not provide cure.
Any possible cures are long term and it seems clear, that's why your post looked more as a sarcasm. Anyways, I apologize if I misinterpreted it.

I think I addressed this already - any foreign aid is waste of money under this standard. But that was not presented as a problem, only that now there is no limit based on, in my view, very arbitrary 'abortion related' criteria.
I personally think the US international AID is an important tool for the US national security, and as I already said I believe in "what's good for the goose is good for the gander", so no need for restrictions which would be unlawful in US.
