The team managed to convert ordinary skin and bone tissue cells from patients with these diseases into stem cells which contain the same genetic fault.-
Help me out here guys...converted one diseased skin and turned it into a diseased stem cell...and that's called progress??????
OgieDoggie.....I'm assuming that now they can produce samples of the disease to run tests on without harming the people who give the samples. That means they can try more radical tests.
Amazing. Dedication and expertise so profound they worked around the drastic and ethically troubling methods of using embryonic cells. Bush vindicated; the scientists win, America and the world wins.

The skeptic in me sees this as a kind of bio-weapon development program, potentially at least.

SuperLib: I'm impressed! Nicely put, and I hope it is so.
Undecided: I do indeed like to say it, and I say it here.
