What are you growing these organs from? Stem cells? From where? Embryos? If so, it’s the same damn thing.

I'm not sure how they did it, but they attached an ear to the back of a mouse. The ear grew all by itself there. That's not the same thing.

They didn't grow a body and discard the rest just because the needed an ear. They grew an ear.

Let's say you were in an accident and your ear was lost. With the right gene therapy, they could start an ear on your arm, and in a few months or however long it took, relocate it to where your ear should be. No harm, no fowl.

Do you see a problem with using adult manipulated cells to do this? I don’t. I’m not advocating the use of embryonic stem cells.

Our bodies create and lose cells every day. If a cell is taken and used to help a person in need, I have no problem with it whatsoever.

This was your question numb-skull.

It addressed more than the stem cell source didn't it. It address the premise that growing anything using stem cells was the same thing as growing a whole body.

Well no it isn't. And that's the significant part of that comment of yours, and that's what I addressed.

Hell, you can't even recognize your emphasis in your own comments.

Techniques can be used to revert ADULT cells into the sort of stem cells needed, which makes it completely ethical. No embryo needed!
