Stem cell stuff seems to be working in non human models, I would like to know more about the pros and cons of such treatments, it always seems to me that scientists go into areas where angels fear to tread, and sometimes they win on behalf of people, but as often the downsides are only found out later, look at agonists, were though to be great idea, great technology to create drugs that would mimic, but it is only in long term human use that the real problems started to emerge. I know that we have to start somewhere with any idea, but I wish that the potential problems were discussed as much as the amazing 'cure' aspects.

Thinking of the closed down stem-cell facility in europe, and the major claims being made for all sorts of diseases that can be cured......
