“Last month, Leader Scalise successfully completed induction chemotherapy and had a positive response. It has now been determined he is eligible for an autologous stem cell transplant. He is currently undergoing the transplant process, marking a significant milestone in his battle against cancer. Once the procedure is completed, he will be recovering under the supervision of his medical team and will work remotely until returning to Washington next month,” the statement from his office said.

I disagree with this guy on everything so it compelled me to read the article.
He’s receiving an autologous stem cell transplant. They came from his own body.
It’s a bone marrow transplant back from his own healthy cells that they harvested before they got rid of the cancerous cells via chemotherapy.
Still a douche when it comes to embryonic stem cell research, though.
For autologous stem cell research to run embryonic stem cell research had to walk.
