I rise to introduce my colleagues in the House to a young lady by the name of Susan Fajt. This lady was injured in a car wreck and could not walk or stand, and she underwent a stem cell treatment and she is now able to walk and stand. Quite miraculous. The main thing that I want it to point out, I know many people in this body have been led to believe this can only be done with embryonic stem cells. It actually cannot be done with embryonic stem cells. It was done with an adult stem cell. The stem cell was taken from her nose and she is continuing to improve. Only inside the beltway do people believe what is not true to be true and what is true to be what is not true. Adult stem cells allow people previously paralyzed to walk.
