Stem Cells

Today I saw an article about a new breakthrough in stem cell research. Scientists have been successful at making skin cells act like embryonic stem cells. They anticipate working out all of the remaining problems pretty quickly.

I find this topic to be extraordinarily interesting. It seems like it could be one day possible for injured people to regrow their skin, spines, eyes or livers. Maybe even a lost foot could be regrown. Truly amazing, and I hope I live long enough to see some of the incredible things that will develop from this technology.
