With all this talk over whether it is right to federally fund new lines of human stem cells for study research, consider this.
Scientists have recently corrected the broken hearts of rats by the use of implanted human stem cells.
I don't know why they can't use rat stem cells for this. It would seem from the pressure that is placed on congress to fund more research that the human variety is rare and costly.
So, why are they injecting human cells into rats?
Don't get me wrong, I think this is important research, but I think that there should be a premium placed on human life.

Hi, this is not so related to your page, but it is the site you asked me 1 month ago about the abs diet. I tried it, worked well. Well here is the site
I believe that the study you refer to is not about improving the health of rats. If that were the case, they'd use rat stem cells. It's about seeing how human stem cells function prior to actually implanting them in humans.
