Cure blindness, cure cancer, cure everything. Either this country can step to the forefront of stem cell research and lead the world in that field and reap the profits of such amazing scientific breakthroughs, or be held back by those that think they know what God is thinking and watch another country pass us in relevance when we should have been the ones blazing the trail. There is just way too much potential good to come out of stem cell research to not explore every nuance of what it could help with. It is the way of the future, like it or not. |

Amazing. Cool story. And I agree, stem cells have a crazy amount of potential.

Further, I believe most stem cells come from bone marrow, especially those used in leukemia treatments and the treatment of other blood disorders. |

my original reply mentioned umbilical cords which are currently the only "ethical" form of collecting embryonic stem cells from the cord blood as a byproduct of child birth. I do own the domain for the record. The internets...where everyone is an expert on everything!!

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

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. |

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
