Us government backed by big Pharma has beaten down fledgling stem cell companies.. But it the other hand (the military) has a different view.

And what's so bad about that? I'm missing half my foot from an IED hitting my vehicle. I wouldn't mind having that regenerated.

Nothing is wrong with it, I am an investor in a couple Stem cell co's. They have been very cautious about federal funding especially where as embryonic stemcells are concerned. The majority of potential solutions involve embrionic stem cells. I am not in favor of stopping a potential life to harvest these. However, with advances in cloning ect this is not needed. Besides fertility clinics discard thousands. We would be a lot further along except for big pharmaceutical co's prefer to keep biotech solutions to a minimum then they can continue selling more drugs.

ech3foxtrot,
Thank you for your service. I hope they can find ways to help all those injured. I just want them to move faster on it.
