Grow your replacement organs!?
« on: April 25, 2005, 01:57:57 PM »
Seems in Nevada some professor inplants human stem cells in sheep and they develope enough human cells  to permit transplants.  The person who needs the transplant donates the stem cells, they inplant them into an unborn lamb and presto....in a few months your organ is fully developed, ready for your transplant!

...maybe in 10 more years, with more investment cash...

then the whole ethics/USDA/FDA process.

I'd put more stock in gene therapies right now.  I also have a vested interest in the progression of both avenues.
