A coworker's wife is undergoing cancer treatment right now.
Back in the old days you had to find a donor to do a bone marrow transplant for the treatment that she is going through.
Now they harvest your own stem cells to repopulate your bone marrow after the treatment.

I feel that is the best way to do things. Stem cells can be grown in a lab and reintroduced to repopulate the bones after the radiation or chemo which can also be done for a much shorter time.

Use your own so there would be NO DNA mess ups at all.

They do not have to kill your immune system if they use your own cells. That is very important.

I know of people who have lost their site from cataracts and glaucoma that would be candidates for research. Where do we sign up?

Very cool. S&F
Why not just create an organ that pumps out stem cells?

This is awesome Stem cells were used to create life from scratch in repeated experiments. This has great potential and will surely lead to more ability than just creating an heretofore unknown animal. We will be able to create Brains, Livers, Lungs, Hearts and whatever we need from our own harvested stem cells.

The next kid Alfie needs a chance to use stem cell research. My fear is the people who think they alone know what is best for mankind and the earth are going to be in charge of who gets treatment and lives on and who does not. England is already proven to be playing decider and even preventing anyone else from providing aide who wanted to TRY to save the life of Alfie.
