I really don't understand the "yuck" responses on this thread. If this is true, there could be an unlimited supply of these cells — with the concomitant benefits to research and health — with no loss of life or even potential life. That would be an unmitigated benefit to humanity. To those who say "yuck," I say "yuck you." Menstrual blood is a completely natural phenomenon and is no more yucky than breathing or eating. Grow up.

Well, I'm female and it kinda struck me as "yuck" when I first read it. If you've ever menstruated, you will know what I mean. But, be that is it may, if this is an actual "discovery" and not a hoax, it will open up many new doors to curing age-old diseases that used to kill many people! And for that, we must be thankful!!

Nope. Never did, and never will (having one too many Y chromosomes). But I've been married many years, including each and every day of each and every month. And I still can't see what's yucky about the way women are contructed by their maker (at least no more yucky than men).

Yes I am, yes I have... but no, I don't know what you mean! I can see where men find it yucky, after all it's something foreign to them. But women should know better. I think this is EXCITING! Forget the "yuck" and concentrate on the possibilities...
