Quote, "I have met Dr. Paul Knoepfler several times at the World Stem Cell Summits and have had several of my blogs posted on his site...."

Great, but Dr. Paul Knoepfler DID NOT WRITE THE ARTICLE being referenced or discussed in my prior post (he, Knoepfler is quoted in it, among other experts/sources) - it's an AP (Associated Press) Journalist who writes for the "health" field who is the author and it was published in U.S. News And World Report among many other places (NOT on Knoepfler's blog)

"Stem cell "WILD WEST" unregulated- says AP (Associated Press) and U.S. News and World Report-"

http://www.usnews.com/news/business/articles/2015/05/18/stem-cell-wild-west-takes-root-amid-lack-of-us-regulation

That's thee U.S. News and World Report site itself (again, nothing to do with Knoepfler or his blog)

Associated Press May 18, 2015 | 9:17 a.m. EDT (that's the time and date stamp of publication citing the AP as the base source of the article)

"By MATTHEW PERRONE, AP Health Writer"

That is THEE AUTHOR signature stamp and label- and it's credited to an AP (associated press) journalist and not "Knoepfler" or his "blog"

Here's some links to the author's own pages/background on his writing (he's based out of Washington D.C., and again is a writer "on staff" for the AP, Associated Press):

(he's got almost 9 yrs of writing for the AP specializing in "health field investigative journalism", he's not an amateur)

Again, "Knoepfler" is just one of several sources cited in the AP written and published article, but he is in no way the author or source of it.

Once the AP (Associated Press, the single largest and oldest news and journalism source in the nation, and I believe in the world) - once they publish something and put it on the "wires" it gets picked up and re-published many, many places as they are a trusted journalism source due to their long history, level of editing skill, fact checking reputation, etc

Here is thee exact same article (and many outlets published the "video" version of the same AP article/investigative journalism piece) appearing on numerous other "news" and academic outlets (including Harvard's own website)- that obviously picked it up off the AP "wires" and re-published it:
