New Stem Cell Source - Your Bone Marrow

Posted by Hemos on from the tip-toe-around-the-ethics dept.

BoogieChile writes "ABC News is reporting that a team of researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles, lead by Dr John Yu, are aiming to extract renewable stem cells from bone marrow - extracted from the patient him/herself - for a source of neural stem cells for treatment of brain cancers, Alzheimers and other neurological disorders. Problem solved! Yipee! New spinal column, anyone?" 'Course the story has no details - post anything else you can find below.

    Say, if you have Alzheimer's, THEN is it bad to sleep with a loaded gun under your pillow?
    Better hope I recognize you when you come to wake me up in the morning, honey.

    Firstly... What kind of pillow do you have?? Cause a loaded 9mm would put a big ass lump in my pillow and I'd never fall asleep.

    Secondly... Aren't you afraid the tooth fairy will come by, see that huge ass lump and go "jackpot!!!" then when she finds it isn't a tooth, she's both pissed and she has a gun????

    Sounds pretty risky to me!
