I was talking to my son, Benjamin on the phone today for Mother's Day. We started to talk about stem cell research. He works for Zymo Genetics in Seattle. He told me about the new stem cell patch made from the stem cells from pigs that was able to regenerate a brand new finger with a nail that matched the other fingers on a hand of a man who had a finger cut off. I was amazed that it actually matched the other fingers on the hand. The potential for this research is that anyone who loses an arm or leg can regrow the limb with this kind of stem cell covering.
There could be help for anyone needing a heart transplant or any organ transplant with stem cell research and development.
Why is stem research banned when it could help so many people?
