Some day all we will have to do is take a pill and give new meaning to the term "Born Again".

I hope this ends diabetes for some.

THis scares me but it's all for good I hope.

For people with genetic kidney defects, I wonder if it would still be helpful. I suppose it could be as you simply grow new cells which still have the defect but because it takes years for them to fail you've got lots of time.

lmao oh so the army can take those poor guys who get their arms and legs blown off and go oh here you go your good as new go blow them off again. im pretty sure it doesn't make the cells go up to your brain and tell it, hey dont worry your arm blew off last time you can just regrow it im pretty sure next time you wont die of blood loss or anything.

Well you have no idea how things work, too complicated for your brain, everything happens magically, of course you think its fake.

............. Anyways I think that this is a huge step forward to the medical industry. Nice to see that waiting for someone else to die to get a transplant would be a thing of the past.

Wonder if I could use my color photo printer to make me a sexy model. I have a few HP cartridges around.

This is so cool. If only the physicists would get into the program so we could have FTL space travel, force fields and antigravity.

Soon Blade Runners will be needed.

I foresee Matrix Cell Beauty clinics in the very near future. A place where some aging actress wraps herself in a cellular cocoon for a few weeks and grows a new butt. The only problem is, pig diseases will start jumping to humans. And it probably will cause genetic diseases due to subtle resequencing of our DNA that goes undetected.

So if I slice off a part of the pig with black pigmentation spots that some pigs are colored with, I can be black and white at the same time? That would be very cool. I can obtain affirmative action and become ethnically diverse at the same time. Think of the possibilities and opportunities.

Promethean...

I would love to stick 4 of my fingers in the propeler if they would go grow back(not back, back to the original size) ;)

looks like good science.

also, what gets me is the vague points of opposition. before a good source for cells of this nature is found, a factor in opposition is revolving around life, definition of it and when it begins. not exactly the most precise of points, eh? though, im glad to see that segment of criticism fading, so im partly talking from my arse here.

hmmhm.. fair point, i guess i need to reword my rants xD i loathe extremism, and currently the loudest two around are within decent churchfolk and the still remaining decent muslims. i just find it irritating entire societies are driven by the will of the few. thats about it. just random thought,if the tech is found and tuned in our lifetime, i sure do hope it will not be patented to death. drug companies make the products yes but thats never the full picture "cost not to die? your soul"

I wonder if that would accually work... The head would die before you could apply the powder, and the body would die quickly without the brain... So probobly not.

Your hate seems to be primarily with Christians... I am very curious about your world view and beliefs, but that is a different subject... Without going off on a tangent, Christians probobly won't have any problem with this. It is very non-controversial. There is nothing here that would be aginst any deity in today's modern religeons that I have studied. No life is sacrificed to make the cells, and there is nothing there that is hurting anyone.

thats the thing, i feel they will not love this and will find an excuse to call this immoral over a set of rather some rather vague principles. i admit im a bit blind with my disillusioned hatred, but im rather sure if you got a non-manufactured (a.k.a. based on real cells) solution for some actual disease, you got a horde of babyboomers raving about how its against the * of *(insert a deity name here)*. after all, its not the first time extremist have destroyed human knowledge.

It seems like modern religeous "idiots" would love this. I dont see where you are coming from.

And they would do this why?

check out the guy whos head was decapitated and they poured some pig bladder powder on his neck and his head grew back!!!......but thats not the end, they then dipped his old head in the powder and it grew a body!!!! he now has a twin!!!!! incredible man, in-fucking-credible....

check out Indiana horse rescue. Shows a more detail of growing a finger back. Awesome
