Just as important for USA readers is the line "They then hooked her up to a machine that cycled through her blood 32 times over the course of seven hours, in order to collect stem cells. Those stem cells were then purified, wiped of any memory of the disease, to later be transplanted into Molson through a blood transfusion."

Our FDA has been making life a pain in the butt for anything that takes stem cells from a person, processes them, and then puts them back into that person.
