Stem Cell Breakthrough Uses Human Skin, Not Embryos (VIDEO) Click for Larger Image

The ability to use human skin and revert it back to stem cell form could very well be the most amazing breakthrough in human history. Stems cell therapy has the potential to end diseases and allow people to regrow their organs. Now that it’s 100%, and ground-breaking research is occurring more rapidly, there is possibility for it to become a reality in the near future.

Embryonic stem cell research holds the promise of curing diseases and even leading to organ transplants formed in petri dishes. But it is highly controversial because viable embryos must be destroyed to extract the stem cells and because cloning is often involved. Researchers on Tuesday announced a way to potentially gain unlimited access to stem cells without the use of embryos by using four genes to force human skin cells to regress back to embryonic stem cells. US President George W. Bush, who has blocked federal funding of research using new embryonic stem cells, applauded the discovery. (afp.google)

because curing disease and regenerating organs would be such a horrible, horrible thing. I hope all you brain washed religious sheep remember what you protested against when you go visit your poor ailing grand mother and she can't recall who you are because of Alzheimer's or can't get up to greet you because she is bed ridden.
