Cells From Liposuction Function As Stem Cells?

texchanchan writes "Plastic surgeon Peter Fodor MD filtered stem cells out of fat sucked from people's oversized body parts, then cultured them into 'bone, cartilage, skeletal muscle and nerve cells.' At the rate of 10,000 stem cells per cm³ that's a lot of stem cells. Combine that with this and you might be on the road to regeneration. And, you can have your stem cells banked for later disasters after your liposuction."

Whoa Nelly

That just gives "suck my ass" a whole new meaning.

Gives a whole new meaning to...

...Enlarge your P****

Life span

Eating ice cream and chocolate now will increase your life span. The only other thing you need is an artificial heart.

Start running to the fridge and hope that science will save your fat ass.

This is why it's still important to many biologists to be able to collect less-differentiated stem cells.

Why not say what this really means?

This is why it's still important to many biologists to be able to collect less-differentiated stem cells by murdering the owners.

It was important to the German government of the early '40s to collect data on radiation by exposing people thereto. Doesn't make it right to do so.

And no, this doesn't Godwin because it's a very apt comparison.

wtf r u talkin' about?

[idontneedanickname]

first u go on talking about "cloacking" all the time and even spell it wrong and now ur telling me ur making bones out of fat? uuuh hum. don't u ppl know alchemy and magic are long dead?!

--tzan
p.s.for all the ppl u who didn't realize that's a joke: go hang urself wiht ur shoelaces!
p.p.s. i will not be responisible if anybody does wht i just mentioned (nowadays u gotta b carfull ;P)

simple explaination of abortion

[Erris]

Abortion is a deliberate act that ends a life for the convenience of the mother. In most cases the "tissues" will grow into a healthy person. Arguments that the "tissue" is not human, is not concious, and that it only represents a potential are false. First, the "tissue" is human. It was not made from goat's milk. The other two comforts are similar to killing a sleeping person on the grounds that they might have a heart attack and die anyway. There are very few cases when the health of the mother requires the death of their child, and in most of them abortion is spontaneous. Your action ends the life.

Advocates of abortion have been quick to use "science" as justification for their actions. It's an outrageous abuse of science, akin to advocating murder because the fat cells can now be used for research into stem cells. What's wrong with using rat embrios? Why butcher people for "research"? No, the abortionists don't care about anyone but themselves. Your specific issue will be useful to craven people, and it won't be true tomorrow when people figure out how to make this fat dance a little better.

Yesterday, I'm sure you would have laughed at the very idea of using liposcutioned fat cells for stem cell research. Heck, I'm still laughing, but mostly becuase it shows the abortionist argument that dead babies are the only source of stem cells as the complete bullshit.

Your name is the answer

[Erris]

I'll ignore your post about fatty food, but I like your name, LittleRat. There should be zeor pressure to use human embrionic cells from abortions or other sources as we could use non-human cells instead. What's wrong with using pig, cow or even little rat stem cells to LEARN. The whole issue of embrionic stem cell research seems to be a spurious thing picked up by the popular media for it's disgusting dramatic value. The baby killers have trumped it around an they have always tried to present their "proceedures" as scientific and reasonable. The same kind of morons at the Associated Press have continued to echo them.

The use of liposcuctioned fat cells to make stem cells just goes to show how little we know and how much we are at the begining of this kind of study. Who knows what people will be able to make cells do next. The more we learn the more we can do.

I laughed out loud when I read it, but it's wonderful. Fat cells really are the undiferentiated cell mass the abortionists would like you to think an embrio is. Fat cells will never grow into a person and killing them or forcing them to grow into nerve cells is perfectly ethical.
