Well, it isn't really something clear-cut that can be proven or disproven. As you said in your original post, "more effective" is an ambiguous term with many meanings. Embryonic stem cell treatments have already been used in one trial to treat Parkinson's disease, and while there was some evidence of a benefit early on, there were serious side effects later in the trial. I'm not sure how much use adult stem cells have seen in therapy so far; both embryonic and adult stem cell research are still in the very early stages at the moment. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

I think the Latin singular is foetus. That's certainly the spelling used in England and I see no reason why the extra o might have arisen. At least, I think that's the Classical Latin spelling. I'm sure there are umpteen examples of some scribe using fetus instead. -------------------- Voice of Reasonable Morality Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

The OED says "fetus" is historically the correct spelling and the O was added in the 16th century, probably by doctors with little knowledge of Latin who were trying to sound educated.

Most likely they confused it with foetus, a bad smell. -------------------- Voice of Reasonable Morality Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |
