The Associated Press has sensationalized an old stem tourism case where Russian stem therapy from 2002-2004 went horribly wrong.
An Israeli boy with a fatal brain disease developed tumors after receiving stem cell injections created from multiple fetal stem cells (some were from a female).
Doctors say his brain disease wasn't conducive to stem cell therapy in the first place.
