NEW YORK -- Scientists are reporting a stem cell breakthrough using a simple lab technique that may create reprogrammed cells after dipping them in acid for under 30 minutes.

The technique turned ordinary cells from mice into stem cells, according to the surprising new study that hints at a possible new way to grow tissue for treating illnesses like diabetes and Parkinson's disease.

If this finding holds up there will be no need to harvest any stem cells, embryonic or otherwise.

The baby killers are going to hate this! They've been trying to use "stem cell research" for decades to justify their butchery.

Watch for shrill denouncements of this technique from the usual suspects.

Hmmmm. I wonder if the technique could be used to enhance wound healing?

One would think it would be worth investigation.
