if it were affordable & "ethical" you'd be able to farm your own stem cells for use.

I know, I really hate giving someone a better quality of life through science.

No crutches, wheelchairs & pacemakers for you

Great news, I hope they do A LOT more of this. If the technology is there DO IT.

So this can be used to restore vision to someone that is losing it, but can it give vision to someone that's never had it?

EDIT: The stem cells, that is..

theoretically -- yes, but that is a much more complex set of marching orders

This

I believe our children & grand children have a great chance of living well past a 100. The last time I read up this. (its been awhile) They were having no problems with the human body excepting new organs made with your stem-cells.
If I remember right? Susan Summers had a breast removed,then went to Europe where DRs took her own stem-cells & used them to grow a new perfect copy of her original breast.

Those amazing developments have come primarily from 'non-fetus' stem cells and not 'fetus' stem cells'. All the research in the last 30yrs on stem cells have shown that 'non-fetus' stem cells have been far and away much more successful in many medical breakthroughs than 'fetus stem cells'. I wonder why ? Maybe God ? Maybe God will only allow blessing to go so far, especially when it comes to the sanctity of LIFE ya think ?

By the way the term 'fetus' in latin means 'child'. So for some of you who use this term thinking you are describing a non-human piece of flesh in a woman's tummy, you may want to find another term.

J Dildo at it again !! ROFL

Nah, you should stop trying to censor my free speech especially when it has everything to do with OP. But wait! No that won't happen because that is what Progressives( a la Marxists) do is censor free speech and opinion especially when it's THE TRUTH !!

But God was ok with us finding vaccines to polio and smallpox? And good to know that a dead language has impact on our modern day morals.

He sure was because those vaccines didn't kill anybody in the process of discovery. Dead language or dead history of origin of the language ? You know kinda of like what is happening to our country when the masses of people are soooo dumbed down they don't even know their own country's history and will repeat it like other societies and civilizations that have gone down the toilet because they repeated the same mistakes which eventually have a negative impact on your modern day morals as you say.

It's f'ing stupid stem cell research doesn't get more funding.

But...the rich elitists want world population reduction.
