Burn patient receives spray from stem cell gun and is fully healed in days
http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...ideos/09347_00
edit: apparently this link no longer leads to the stem cell gun video, thanks to Laz we still have the stem cell gun video also if you're wondering the stem cells used were harvested from the patient's skin Last edited by Wyndex; 02-02-2011 at 06:49 PM.. |

Well there is a study underway now where they are making stem cells from my wedding tackle and using it to spray and grow damaged Mule penis.

In the interest of providing some perspective ...
I once had the horrific misfortune to, for a brief time, share a room at KUMC with a burn victim. This poor young man had 2nd and 3rd degree burns over approximately 70% of his body. He was in unimaginable pain. The treatment? Tar. Black tar spread over his body that the nurses tried to keep him from rubbing off. And, of course, tons of IV morphine. The difference between that treatment and this ... well, it's almost - and practically is - unimaginable. FAX |

They fear intentional abortions to harvest fetuses for the stem cell material.

That experience was shocking to me. And frightening, really. Barbaric. I'll never forget it. Maybe that's why this particular advancement resonated with me so much. That man was better off dead. I know that, had I been him, I would have been praying for death if not arranging for somebody to shoot me. FAX |

I didn't realize that second degree burns looked so bad. I would've thought those were third degree or worse.
This sounds like great stuff to help people who would otherwise suffer greatly, so bravo to the developers. By "healed", does that mean that it doesn't hurt or anything? No scars, either? The guy looked perfectly normal, but I don't know if second-degree burns leave scars or not.
