Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Developed From Skin Cells
juliangamble writes "Scientists reported Thursday they had developed a technique that can quickly create safe alternatives to human embryonic stem cells, a major advance toward developing a less controversial approach for treating a host of medical problems. The researchers published a series of experiments showing they can use laboratory-made versions of naturally occurring biological signals to quickly convert ordinary skin cells into cells that appear virtually identical to embryonic stem cells. Moreover, the same strategy can then coax those cells to morph into specific tissues that would be a perfect match for transplantation into patients."
I never would have taken the Slashdot moderators as anti-science crusaders.
Guess I know better now!
None of this matters. If you aren't grinding up babies, then it is useless to the Democrat agenda. We need to make abortion more acceptable, and if you cannot make use of the dead babies in some positive way, then killing babies would become less desireable. If we cannot find a use for the piles of dead children, then people might begin to look at us with less then entheusasm. Sure, we could always go back to the school lunch mystery meat program, but some in the party have, for unknown reasons, been less than happy with that idea.
so... you're beef with the pro-choice movement is that there are 10 thousand nut jobs?
Are all Christians Pat Roberson nut jobs?
