When I go to this companies web site I find that they are also deep into embryonic stem cell research too.

I would have bought stock if they had correct morals...not knowing this.

WooHoo, where do I go to donate?

I generally ping to pro-life and stem cell threads, sometimes to Catholic and Homosexual Agenda threads too.

Healtheuniverse Develops Technology to Create Non-Embryonic Adult Stem Cells From Fat

Company Positioned to Perform First Human Clinical Trials Using Proprietary Stem Cell Technology

COVINA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/14/2006 --

Healtheuniverse Inc. (OTC: HLUN), a diversified biotechnology development firm specializing in the development and commercialization of patented biopharmaceutical and biomedical products, announced today that its research has developed technology to create adult stem cells using fat. Scientific protocols are being prepared for the first human clinical trials using the company's proprietary stem cell technology. This technology uses adipose tissue, or fat which can be used as an abundant source of stem cells for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The Company intends to sell this proprietary technology to physicians, clinicians and medical organizations through a packaged product line and licensing agreements within the worldwide regenerative medicine market which is estimated to grow to $500 billion by 2010.

Fat cells are abundant in human beings of all ages and are easily accessible. Research demonstrates that up to 50 million potential stem cells can be derived from a pound of fat. The fat can be harvested confidently, consistently, and most of all safely from any individual from any age. Fat tissue contains stem cells, and research suggests they can be coaxed into other cell types, such as nerve, bone, muscle and blood vessels.

"We believe there are currently no human trials in the United States evaluating the potential of stem cells derived from fat and we are moving toward being the first," stated Dr. Vipul Dev M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Healtheuniverse, Inc. "Our technology is focused on developing therapies using patients' own cells, as opposed to cells that might be donated by other individuals. Because fat is both abundantly available and easily accessible, it offers a practical source of stem cells. Just about everybody, even slender people, carries enough fat to yield a good supply of cells for their own treatment. Fat produces so many stem cells that there's no time-consuming need to grow more of them in the lab."
