I surely hope this research continues to pan out.

Was glad to hear about this. Thanx, n2.

This could be a win win for both sides of the stem cell debate. They have many hurdles to get over (transferring from mice to humans, and increased risk of cancer), but it looks very promising.

I've been puzzled and worried about this kind of research. But, I agree that BOTH sides of the argument can be supported here. I see GOOD things with this breakthrough.
