No, patients do not have this choice because no licensed physician would give them said choice. People here are talking as if BMT were this mundane thing that you can just decide you want to do some afternoon.

I'm not really sure what's the point you're trying to make. Bone marrow transplants are not some unproven treatment. Stem cell research generally seems troubling to some politicians; this specific application is probably not approved but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be in the near future.

The mortality of the treatment that you and I are talking about is far higher than the mortality of the disease. Orders of magnitude higher.

Nope, not Jewish. Only by stem cell. Religions are insufficient in some major ways. But they found time to include a clause about embryonic research, huh?

Are you looking for an answer or do you just want to be snarky?

I gave you what you need to know to answer your question... I don't care what a religion says. They usually don't know what they're talking about. I didn't know any religion validated embryonic stem cell harvesting and I am saying that completely honestly.
