Scientists Turn Skin Into Blood
Breakthru writes "In an important breakthrough, scientists at McMaster University have discovered how to make human blood from adult human skin. The discovery, published in the prestigious science journal Nature today, could mean that in the foreseeable future people needing blood for surgery, cancer treatment or treatment of other blood conditions like anemia will be able to have blood created from a patch of their own skin to provide transfusions. Clinical trials could begin as soon as 2012."
While Space Nutters still run around in circles rehashing decades-old already done "science".
Screw whoever just called me a "hick".
We Americans executed Nazis for the hideous "crime against nature and humanity" called abortion.
Like it or not, this nation was founded by christians for such.
You pagans and baby-sacrificing devil worshippers are welcome to live here so long as you only carve up your own kids.
As for me, I FREAKIN LOVE the scientists who discovered this.
They actually complained that it is easy to use cells from the person's own body... something everyone has been saying.
They went on to say that the govt wants them to try it with fetal stems, but that it would be way harder, like another ten years.
WHY TRY? Because dead babies are big business. That's why your enslaved butt will never be given the vote on abortion.
Forget whether you are for or against it. You should clench your fist in rage that the elitist weasels in govt will NEVER let us rule ourselves and decide (state by state) whether we want abortion or not. That's called taxation without representation and is why we killed the British and felt good about ourselves. Screw the govt flunkies on the take from the following billion dollar corps which push abortion....
bio chip tech, abortion clinics, human experimenters who want to PRETEND they aren't using human pieces, cosmetic companies in need of collagen, etc etc etc.
Each of these alone is a BILLION dollar industry that will happily brainwash your daughter into killing your grandkid so they get the body.
Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what your country did with your dead kid.
I think the idea is, you take someone _else's_ skin.

I subscribe to the theory that Stephen Hawking eludes to; If there really is a supreme being, he only input it had into creating the universe was to create Gravity, Electromagnetism, and the Weak and Strong Nuclear Force. The rest sort of took care of itself.
Some of the worst atrocities conducted by humanity have been done in $deity's name, yet all combined they'd still number less than the total losses from the situations you described above. I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't some form of irony on his part.
Either way, this is off topic.
