Stem Cells
6 year old Viktor Ostholm at the hospital in Beijing, China on April 20, 2007. Viktor suffers from the rare brain disease INCL (infantile neuronal lipfuscinos). There are only 20-30 children in the entire world with this congenital disease and they normally only live to be 9-13 years old. Viktor is the first child in the world to have stem cells from aborted fetuses implanted in his brain. (Urban Andersson, AFTONBLADET / WpN)
