Just visited the original article —there’s a HUGE error in it. The photo they feature shows a totipotent cell being extracted from a (probably 3 day old) EMBRYO.
That’s wrong.
This procedure doesn’t involve kids, or babies, or fertilized eggs, or anything like that —verrrrry deceptive.
Good post, but THAT PHOTO IS WRONG.
A much better photo would feature some middle-aged fat guy (or woman), with some sucker thing, sucked into his abdomen, under a surgical cape, and he/she would be smiling, giving a thumbs-up.
I cannot BELIEVE that they made such a huge error by accident —no freaking way.
The original article is by a DISHONEST JOURNALIST.
What in hell is a fertilized egg doing in the article? If used it should say, “This l’il thang here makes a PERSON, or IS a person, who earns a driver’s licence, then gets fat 40 years later, and then undergoes LIPOSUCTION”.
IDIOTS.
