All the Pluripotent Stem Cell Scientists Could Ever Use....

Unwanted the owner, the only person who should actually have a say in whether they can be harvested and made us of, that is, to the human being OF WHOM THE CELLS ARE AN ACTUAL PART.

Yes, existing in massive quantities, and possessed by someone who is positively eager, is aching to rid himself of them: fat .

Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered that the millions of fat cells removed during liposuction can be easily and quickly turned into induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, more easily than the skin cells that researchers used when the first iPS cells were created in 2007.

These iPS cells, like stem cells derived from embryos, can be turned into many different kinds of cells, and researchers believe they eventually could be used to regenerate tissue for organs and repair damage.

Embryonic stem cells are controversial because the embryos are destroyed when the stem cells are removed for research. The iPS cells, which have many of the same basic properties, do not raise the same ethical questions as embryonic stem cells because they come from skin or now fat cells that have been reprogrammed to go back in time, so to speak, and have the ability to turn into any other kind of cell in the body.

So let's see how those who champion ESCR react to this news -- will they give up their destructive and anti-life machinations, since there is no need to end lives to acquire new cell lines?
