week 17

Scientists in New York are reporting early success at transforming one kind of specialized cell into another. For example, if someone has heart problems, doctors can take cells from their liver and use them on their heart. Doctors have gotten stem cells to revert to a state resembling embryonic stem cells which can be transformed into any type of cell in the body.

I think its amazing seeing the future of our medical technology. With this discovery many lives can be saved and not at the cost of a childs life such as in stem cell research. They say its still going to take a while to perfect this new medical discovery but I believe with proper funding and research that it will be perfected in ten years.
