Hmmm. I am amazed (NOT) that fetal stem cells weren't needed for this. I thought this type of miracle was impossible without using fetal stem cells. How can this be?

Dr. W. French Anderson, a University of Southern California researcher and a
pioneer in the field, said the new research is an important advance in gene therapy.

That's no sh-t!!!
If true, this is just incredible. As far as I know there has only been one "maybe"

NYer, thanks for posting this.
A couple of days ago I was BSing with my boss and he asked me if anyone famous in
science had ever come from Oklahoma...I told him "Yes, William French Anderson, the leader
in gene therapy research...he arrived from Tulsa to start undergraduate work at Princeton (IIRC)
and the first thing everyone remembers about him was that he wore cowboy boots.

My boss said "never heard of him".
Thanks to your article, I can show my Member of The National Academy of Sciences boss
that he really doesn't know everything!!!
