There is a catch with the new technique. At this point, it requires disrupting the DNA of the skin cells, which creates the potential for developing cancer. So it would be unacceptable for the most touted use of embryonic cells: creating transplant tissue that in theory could be used to treat diseases like diabetes, Parkinson's, and spinal cord injury.




Why?

If your dying or have a shitty life why not risk cancer for a decent treatment? I hate the popular press, why not explain why this is unacceptable?

Plenty of cancer treatments also increase the risk of cancers, such as chemotherapy and radiation, yet we don't hold back on those when the risks are less than the benifits.

i dont think it was to push this idea away but to inform. why settle for a cure that could possible cause more problems when we might be able to fully duplicate embryonic stem cell without risk of complications?

a few weeks ago I read that they could get stem cells from testicles (just a tiny sample, no castration;))
but just from skin seems easier:grin:

"To do right is to know what you want. Now when you are dissatisfied with yourself it's because you are after something you don't really want. What objects are you proposing to yourself? Are they the objects you really value? If they are not, you are cheating yourself. I don't meant that if you chose to pursue the objects you most value, you will attain them; of course not. Your experience will tell you that. But success in getting after much labor what you really don't care for is the bitterest and most ridiculous failure." -George Santayana
