Nice to see University of Wisc will hold more patents in this procedure. Of course they owned patents on the Embryonic Stem Cell lines and many ‘research’ facilities tried to get around paying royalties. Will be interesting to see what the idiots in California who set aside $3 billion for their own stem cell iniative will do. In any event, this is wonderful news because my son’s endocrinologist has always been saying that the rejection problem of using someone elses cells to cure diabetes would creat as many problems as they solve. I.e. having to take powerful/expensive inmmuno suppresetn drugs for the rest of your life to prevent rejection. This new method will get around that problem.
I suspect nothing will change in California regarding the move to provide ever more funding to embryonic stem cell “research.” It never really was about research, medicine or curing disease, and I’m sure you know what I mean. It was as firmly rooted in science as global warming. This embryonic obsession was always a way of obtaining through the back door a source of public funding of abortion. It will continue as planned.
