Thanks for the very informative discussion. That was great!
I have a family member which could be helped with a break through. To date, I've been fully behind Adult stem cells and very opposed to embryonic. This may open a new avenue and the researcher's should be commended for attempting to find a way to preserve life.
I still think the MSM has given the adult stem cells the 'short end of the stick' in their coverage, but what else is new.
which = who - Back to grammar class for me.
But... This may open a new avenue and the researcher's should be commended for attempting to find a way to preserve life.
Don't be. This really is a publicity stunt in some ways. ACT is to my mind a scam company in that what they do is addressed to investors and fund raising. Companies that never prodiuce anything in biotech and other tech fields can none the less be incredibly successful in making money.
I think they actually do science -- they hire people who do -- but I get the feeling they are one step above charlatanism. Maybe I am being harsh and unfair, but I am just goving my impression.
My guess is the breakthrough if it occurs will come through unexpectedly and will be effective enough to be obvious, won't involve embryonic stem cells and won't be done by one of the high profili huge money self promoting companies or labs -- which is why it will be "unexpected".
Nothing though is going to be as good as cliamed by the vested interest types.
EG chemotherapy helps and keeps people alive. But no one would say that's where we want to be in how we treat cancer.
