First, we build duplicates. Then we start improving them! I could see bone lacing and orthoskin's being the first... |

Very cool combination of old tech and new tech. We have known how to cultivate cells for a long long time, but now that we can build a scaffold for them to grow around we can start replacing body parts. Very cool tech and I look forward to seeing it develop more.

The nifty part is that early on the worry was you'd have to place every cell precisely in position making the process time consuming and prone to errors.
It turns out that all you have to do is get the cells in roughly the right place, and they orient themselves automagically. Stem cells will even become whatever cell is needed in that location. Nature is amazing. -k |

Unfortunatly ALL stem cell research has been halted, not just the ones from aborted fetuses. Truely a crime against medicine.
