Embryonic Stem Cells Made Without Embryos, a historical breakthrough!

[Kademad]

It's quite evident that the future of medicine will largely depened on stem cell research because of the great potential they have to cure alot of diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries and even cancer.

One very important obstacle that this kind of therapy faces is the ethical aspect, and that's because obtaining those stem cells used to only be made available by obstracting them from embryos, killing those embryos in the process, something that caused alot of ethical debate and was considered a huge obstacle against the advancement in those researches.

Now all of this can be overridden in this truly historical breakthrough...

Researches in the United States have successfuly achieved the development of stem cells from fibroblasts found in the human skin.
The new cells are called induced pluripotent stem cells... "iPS cells" for short.

I've read the whole article... I hope that we can catch this breakthrough and get use of it at that time...

Thanks Kade

Whether scientists came out with this invention or not , in both cases the wheel of evolution must carry on and it will as it always did............stem cells ,human cloning , weather control devices ...etc.........this is the future and no one can stop it sooner or later it will override all the religious ,ethical ,controversial obstacles...........evolution is evolution what can we do?!!!!!!!!!!!.........I like it ......hahahahah
