Speaking of biology, about three years ago they did a stem cell transplant on a bloke with both Lukemia and AIDS. Now, the lad they got the cells from actually has a genetic immunity to AIDS.

The recipent of the transplant is showing up completely free of AIDS today.

Stem cells seem like the duct tape of medicine, is there anything they can't fix?

Could you not eventually use stemcells to grow a brain? At least half a brain anyway.

And there was me thinking that this thread was going to be about the Girls Aloud song

In theory yes, and it probably wouldn't be one that put a block on stem cell research for "ethical" reasons, and preventing the most promising work on cures for cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cystic fibrosis, etc. etc. etc.

When i had my kids, i tried to donate the stem cells from the umbillical cord, for what ever use medical science may wish ... no-one and i mean no-one wanted it, including various cancer and leukemia chariites ..... why bother ....

Yes! I love Girls Aloud. Their most recent CD is right up there with Metallica's "DEATH MAGNETIC" on the Stoner playlist.

Haha, that is pretty funny.


And as for Girl's Aloud, Cheryl Cole must be a brilliant mentalist, I never figured out how she got the nation to forget that she went to court for racially aggravated assault.

easy! She just wears the skimpy outfits and dances...we all forget everything then!

*puts on girls aloud on tour dvd...*

What did she do again?

Yes - no-one that attractive could be evil.
