In the early days of stem cell research, the controversy about cancer induction, was talked about quite a bit.

I really am suggesting that you, neuroproblem, use links to illustrate your comments and opinions. Then the readers here can read more about the topic and then form their own opinions regarding risk vs. benefit.

How to link and quote sources on the internet is explained in our guidelines. The link to that explanation is in my signature on every post.
