Very interesting.

Embryonic stem cells as therapy have done the same thing.

Exactly. That is why I hate when people who oppose embryonic stem cell research are dismissed as anti-science "religious nuts".

The problem is that embryonic stem cells can theoretically become ANYTHING. Teeth, skin, hair, malformed organs, etc.

That's why they are called "pluripotent".

Now I have no objection to using stem cells, once they've differentiated into what they will become. Like a kidney.

But it is sheer lunacy to even tamper with injecting embryonic stem cells anywhere in the body.

This case is a perfect example. It happens in nature with catastrophic results.

Imagine injecting some Parkinson's patient with a batch of cells that will become teeth in their brain.

Not good science at all.
