: November 20, 2007 Human Skin Cells Do What Embryonic Stem Cells Can't

Once again proving that Connecticut, New York, California and New Jersey have just soaked their residents with multibillions of tax-dollar-funded research investment that isn't worth spit.
Not to mention the moral crime of extinguishing many more unborn human persons.
Not one, but--count'em--two groups of scientists accomplished what is being called "a huge deal" and "a tremendous scientific milestone" by "prominent stem cell scientist[s]."
The news articles do indicate that some unknowns have yet to be overcome and yes, they are substantial. As Reuters also reports, "It is not clear whether this virus might cause genetic mutations that could cause cancer or other side effects."
Interesting that these exact kinds of harmful results have already been seen repeatedly with embryonic stem cells. In fact, there has never been anything but those kinds of harmful results with ESCs.
