[quote:acf20]A South Korean woman paralyzed for 20 years is walking again after scientists say they repaired her damaged spine using stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood.[/quote:acf20]
[quote:acf20]Medical research has shown stem cells can develop into replacement cells for damaged organs or body parts. Unlocking that potential could see cures for diseases that are at present incurable, or even see the body generate new organs to replace damaged or failing ones.[/quote:acf20]
this is awsome, i cant wait to see what happen next.
i hope they find a cure for cancer out of this.
before i never really thought that stem cells were such a big deal because they never showed anything like this. now it should definitely become legal!!
I have no problem with Religious people deciding on rules to govern themselves, but nothing pisses me off more than fucking Catholics telling people that THEIR god says you're not allowed to walk again.
I hope this is just the beginning. Fuck organised religion. mad:
