Mmm, food for thought. The media made it seem as if the stem cell problem with ethics was beaten. Personally I’m freaked out by anything using viruses. Viruses are the most alien form of life (or death?) on our planet. No one really knows why they are and why they continue because they’re not truly alive as we understand life. Yet there they are.
Sorry about the med school comment...closest I’ve come to a lie here. I never snagged the financing but do try to stay read up. Thanks for keeping we morons informed. Somatic - I have been really sleepy of late.
Bad joking aside (and apologizing for the abundance of smartasses who cropped up here) I’d like to know more about pluripotent cells. Do you think that line of research will yield results? There are so many people in need of a cure.
If they can do it without causing a teratoma, yes. They may have to figure out all of the genetics and epigenetics of embryogenesis first.
