Stem Cells Restore Sight For Corneal Disease Patients
Sean0michael writes "Australian scientists have restored the sight of three human test subjects using stem cells cultured in contact lenses. All the patients were blind in only one eye. Two were legally blind, but can now read the big letters on an eye chart. The third could read the first few lines, but is now able to pass a driver's test. The University of New South Wales reports that these patients all had damaged corneas, and the stem cells came from each person's good eye. The best part: the procedure is inexpensive, raising hopes for being able to push this to the third world sooner than other, more expensive medications."
That's why he needs it out, so he can set it to vibrate and put it back.
"The good news is no aborted fetuses were harmed in the course of these tests."

Wow, I didn't see this one coming.

How exactly does one kill something that is already dead?
With a wooden stake, garlic, and holy water, under the light of a full moon.
That would be gall, unless you're implying that the French are sub-human.
