The article I used for part of my research was about two older women with macular degeneration, a disease that causes blindness in elderly people. These women had surgery using embryonic stem cells to increase their vision, and it succeeded in both cases. This article is significant because it gives an example of just one of the many diseases that can be cured using embryonic stem cells.
