In one of my regular searches for new stem cell advances, I came upon this ABC news article dated May 22, 2007. This article offers hope if this new line of research pans out as expected!!!
My AOL web mail page did NOT include this story
...one would think heart disease a rare thing.
(Heart disease is either the number one or number two killer...I forget.)
And note - they say in the article that they've found stem cells in the heart. So possibly they could use hormones to cultivate a bit of tissue from the patient to grow his/her OWN perfectly matched replacement parts
...Probably no donor rejection issues with one's own tissue
...And no embryo need die.
