late night reality check.......

1. Gee. I thought you meant the computer kind.

2. I can here the fundies now

"Mice are being robbed of their right to create life, ban this"

[Nutmegger]

3. Then we're depriving the mice from reproducing

according to the Fundies.

4. Hey, our nuts are more valuable than we thought!

[Ilsa]

5. Yeah, but this is what counts:

"If the same holds true in humans, it could provide a controversy-free source of versatile cells for use in treating disease."

"That would also open the door to removing testicular cells from a male patient, growing some tissue the patient needs, and transplanting that tissue into the same man without fear of biological rejection, he noted."

What about women? Most of us don't have testicles (although many of us act like we do).

8. Gotta start somewhere.

If this works out, maybe ovarian tissue holds similar promise for women?

[silverweb]

6. Great news!

"That would also open the door to removing testicular cells from a male patient, growing some tissue the patient needs, and transplanting that tissue into the same man without fear of biological rejection, he noted.

The mouse cells were found to give rise to a variety of specialized cells in the lab, including heart cells that contracted and nerve cells that produced dopamine, the chemical messenger that Parkinson's patients lack, he said.

Cells typical of the liver, skin, pancreas and blood vessels were produced as well, he said.

Wow. This is really, really hopeful.

7. I've been saying that for years.

9. OH man, you have to read some of these comments!

They want to be able to justify murder and would hate to see any alternative to embrionic stem cell harvesting.

[Mythsaje]

13. the_spabook is an idiot...

We want ALL options open. If they can find other ways than using embryonic cells, all the better. But if there aren't enough other sources available, we want to be able to use what we can.
