The Dangers of Stem Cell Research


I'm visiting San Diego this weekend, and I watched a show called "Eleventh Hour" with my Mom. It has to be seen to be believed. The main character is a "scientist" (he goes around introducing himself, "My name's [blah blah blah]. I'm a Scientist.") investigating unusual crimes for the FBI. The crime on yesterday's program: some evil country club types were stealing stem cells from kids with cancer so that they could inject the stem cells into their faces and rejuvenate their skin. Their downfall: injecting the stem cells too deep into their faces, causing one of them to grow a second heart, over-oxygenate his blood, and drive into a swimming pool.
