FReepmail me if you want on or off my stem cell ping list.

[Mrs. P]

I didn’t see it in the article - are these adult stem cells?

[Venturer]

Sounds great until you realise that Obamacare will have to pay for it , and they will decide it is too expensive for those who need it. Plus the Doctors will all be paid the same payments and Doctors who would prescribe this will be working as General practitioners by then.

Soon all new research into keeping us older Americans will be scrapped. Why? Because they have no use for older American and we are now considered a burden.

Never mind - just found it:

"Their objective, working with researchers at the University of Oxford, Imperial College and University of Wisconsin, included developing a bioengineering approach, using stem cells generated from skin biopsies , which can be used to create large numbers of cardiac muscle cells that can transmit uniform electrical impulses and function as a unit."

So these are NOT fetal stem cells. Cool beans.
