Stem cell research is not playing "god" or the creator what ever you believe ,it is going to help people suffering from some horrible diseases get a new lease on life IMO.

That's interesting. Seriously. I know traditionally, the surgeons can make a mandible from a persons rib or hip. It's pretty cool if this works out for this guy long term. So many other problems begin to develop if you can't chew your food properly or even eat solid food at all.

I'm not against stem cell research. Especially when it used for purposes that truly benefits someone. I understand some of the downfalls with the technology and I know with certain areas, it has a huge potential for abuse, but the technology is still fascinating.
