The Beginning is the End

I'm so proud UCSB figured it out first.

In that field, everyone is standing on somebody's shoulders. It's been a raging fire of biochemical learning for at least 25 year, and there is no shortage of molecular mysteries that need more research. Check out; http://www.plosbiology.org


I've been reading for awhile about reversing cells back into stem cells and rejection free growing organs (or spinal cords, or other repair tissues), either within the person, or using their stem cells in a chimeric host (such as a pig).

We are currently able to transplant, limbs, faces, organs, etc. with the use of anti-rejection therapy, but that is a huge downside. Imagine what we would do if we regularly grow the required tissue within the host, or in a chimera animal. And, this is the danger of the abuse of human cloning. What would be more convenient than having an exact copy of you grown for spare parts, whenever you'd need them.
