Stem-cell treatment, is an organ transplant for people who have canc3r and serves as therapy.

It can reduce fatalities by seventy-five per cent.

These is how adult stem cells can make a great impact in this modern world and how it could positively help in medical field.

Now that is why this innovation has the support of the Catholic Church.

Vatican city – a conference took place and specifically focused on its ethical forms of adult stem cell-research, discussing the the rapid development of it in the future.

Archbishop Paul Tighe told Catholic News Agency (CNA): “For the Church to be working with those who are finding exciting new cures and new therapies is a very natural thing to do,”

The Irish Archbishop is the secretary of the Pontifical Council for Culture, told the agency that the Catholic Church’s only concern is for the betterment of ever human being, that is why they have to be get involved with this kind of matter and discussion.

He said: “Jesus was ‘above all a healer'”,  “He restored health to people. And that’s really the care that people responded to.”

“Cellular Horizons: How Science, Technology,Information and Communication Will Impact Society”, is a conference that was held last April 28 to 30 at the Vatican.

Pontifical Council for Culture and the U.S.-based Stem for Life Foundation, is a non-profit organization based in New York, that co-hosted the said event.

It is the 3rd medicine event/conference that has been held and organized by them them in Vatican.

Gathered physicians, scientists, patients, philanthropists, religious leaders and government officials were involved during the event and discussed adult stem cell’s uses, therapies, benefits, and research.

CEO of Organovo, a San Diego-based company, Mr. Keith Murphy, explained to CNA regarding “bioprinting” – a technique and technology wherein tissues of the human body is created.

He said: “We take cells of many different types and we print them with a 3-D printer to make tissues,” he said. “It’s a little like making something out of Legos, where you’re going to actually place specific blocks of specific colors in a position and you’re going to build something up layer by layer. Except that we use cells as a blocks.”

“You put different cell types on top of each other or next to each other. You create a pattern, you put that into a computer, and the automated system deposits the cells and creates a living tissue. All the cells will join together and make one living tissue.”
