...cannot understand why scientists are pursuing embryonic stem cells that have so far failed to produce any cures.

Neither can I.............

Because a good many scientists are fond of playing God. Utilitarians who are under the impression that because they can do something they are entitled to do it.

I can. They are the servants of Moloch. They are not as ignorant as they pretend to be. They do actually enjoy destroying human life, it makes them feel important.

I wonder if stem cells can be used to regrow cochlear follicles? I'd really like to fix the tinnitus that has been steadily growing in my ears recently.

So I could maybe do a little cosmetic reshaping and help save the world? :) Sounds good to me!

I think this discovery and its utility may well make justification of fetal stem-cell research impossible for many.

sadly, though: not all.

Probably because they think it will justify abortion.

"Liposuction is intended as a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure to rid people of their unwanted fat, but researchers have found that there may be a benefit of keeping the removed fat for stem cell research. What this means is that I'm not fat - I'm a stem cell repository! :-)

" Another seldom-reported news item regarding this is, stem cells can be found in LIPOSUCTION FAT! "

I suspect that the richest source is NEW fat - where cells are being added during weight gain - rather than those old, well-established love handles we have carried around for years. I understand that these types actually have a different physical appearance.

Amen to that. I would love to regain my hearing loss due to working in loud lumber mills and shooting without hearing protection when young.
