Bartolo Colon's stem cell procedure nothing new

Bartolo Colon's stem cell procedure nothing new - David Epstein - SI.com: Judging from the blogosphere it seems the use of stem cells to treat the Yankee pitcher is being characterized as the potentially nefarious aspect of the treatment. If stem cells open a new can of worms, then it should have been opened a long time ago. And we'd better add a bunch of other players who have had a stem cell procedure to the scrutiny list.

Editor: Why is it that a writer for Sports Illustrated can more accurately describe the differences between adult and embryonic stem cell research than most science reporters in the mainstream media? Kudos David Epstein!
