I was going to do the ol' "Crazy Fringe Right wingers to send this thread to DC in 3...2..." post, but I see that they showed up on page 1 and I was too late.

Anywhoo... This is pretty amazing stuff. Possibilities are endless. I hope this becomes more widespread very soon, on the off chance I get burned somehow.

On Neil deGrasse Tyson's PBS show last week they were showing how entire organs are now being grown in labs. The hold-up before was that we could grow the cells, but not the structures. The solution was to use an existing organ from a donor animal (like a pig heart) and then place it in a chemical solution that stripped off all of the cells, leaving the underlying structure intact. Then the patient's own cells could be grown within the structure to create a transplantable organ ... without worrying about rejection.

The show profiled a woman in Spain whose doctor used the technique to grow a new trachea after hers had been ravaged by tuberculosis.

Curing disease is fine, helping injured people is fine, but coming up with a way for rich people to live another 50 years sucks.

Yeah. It'll be the doom of social security.

This is where we are heading. I think the eventual limiting factor in our possible immortality is the deteriorating brain function. Once they figure out how to slow that down, look out.

Too bad the world is ending in a little less than 2 years. Oh well.

****ing amazing..

.. So since skin is just a large organ, could this be used to "repair" other organs? Perhaps reverse the effects of cigarrette smoking on lungs, fix heart murmurs, give sight to the blind? Things like that...

Curing Zombies?

Since I was a burn victim here about a month before the 09 bash almost didn't make it because I was still recovering. I had a great burn physical therapist at Overland Park Regional she said I had about the 2nd worse burn she had seen in about the 15 plus years since she had been treating patients. This is an amazing treatment.
