Growing Organs

In short, we grew a heart from stem cells. Japanese scientists, grew a pair of kidneys. This article has ZERO news coverage other than being on telegraph.co.uk and Nigerian Daily..


Are you kidding me? This is a phenomenal achievement in medical science and its gotten no coverage.
 

Anyway I thought this was cool. But then again, I'm an advocate for stem cell research.

    I'm in favour of throwing irrelevant ethical concerns out the window and get on with saving human lives with this technology already.
