Stem cell therapy effectively treats heart attacks in animals. What an amazing outcome. They simply inject adult stem cells harvested from bone marrow into the damaged area of the heart, and the stem cells grow new heart tissue and the scar tissue is reduced by 75%. Human testing slated to begin in a few months. Mmmmmm...body spackle.

Don't you know that the scary thing about stem cell research is that stem cells come from fetuses? The "hidden halocaust" (hollow-cost) could be abortion of fetuses. Sacrifice the young voiceless for the wealthy sick.
"Fetus" is Latin for a baby before it is born from the womb into the outside world.
In South Korea, the year you spend in the womb is counted towards your age, so, when you're born, you're 0.88 years old or approximately 1 year old.
The other scary thing about the harvesting of fetuses (a form of holocaust, in my opinion) is that I'm afraid that "fetus spackle" is used in "beauty" products and cosmetics such as moisturizing lotion. It's scary enough to make me wonder what the special secret ingredient is in my body lotion. Maybe it's just "placenta" - the sac that holds the amniotic fluid that a fetus lives in for 0.88 years in the womb.
I wish you a happy life.

Set the captives free...

czarina, you take the cake. If you'd bothered reading the article, or even reading my post about it, you'd surely have noticed that these stem cells were harvested from BONE MARROW, rather than fetuses.
Also, the notion that a clump of cells that someday has the potential to become a sentient human should be accorded the rights of an existing human is obviously absurd. As science progresses, it is soon likely that ANY clump of cells will have the potential to be transformed into a sentient human (adult somatic-cell cloning). Once that happens, you'll be committing a mortal sin every time you brush your teeth and remove living cells from your gums.
