I was talking to someone (a fren) who has a degree in biosciences. He said in the maybe around 10 years time.. can grow back amputate limbs , teeth and bones.

something call stem cells and cloning take from your own body and injected again. very fast simple procedure can cure many diseases like heart and lung and diabetes according to him. finally we dont have to pay so much for medical fees.
is it something to feel happy about yea?

blackchickenahkai SG

i doubt it..
but docs are fast running out of work in the future,..
ratio as low as 1 :100 will happen if the trend continues..
mn...shouldnt have chose this profession..
sigh....actually i prefer to be a pharmacist Laughing or a nurse

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Cure diseases yes. Grow back amputated arms, I doubt so. You amputated it for medical reasons, and you want to grow it back. I just can’t see where the stem cells fit. And cloning, you clone yourself just to amputate the clone’s arm and sew back for yourself? It’s unethical.

R3SsH|n SG

isn't this suppose to be top secret? Shocked

CynthiaLady SG

he said nowadays can grow back teeth and hair. and this will come in 2008 onwards.think it is already out but not yet to public

according to him, the cost is unjustificable to pay high amount for a simple 15 minute procedure.
he said it wont be because there is no reason

blackchickenahkai SG

si mi lang laieh?
know so much one..
4D no for monday's draw is what a? Laughing

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Not exactly top secret if you read a lot of science articles. They are giving a lot of hints that they are going to do it. Whether ethically or not.

blackchickenahkai SG

artificial "small bro" also possible. Embarassed

CynthiaLady SG

He aso sad lah that it can be done in your family clinic in future too because the proceudre is so simple like going for vaccination.

US doctors already using it

ndmmxiaomayi SG

ah kai, don't need to know simi lang

I can tell you, stem cells can now even be used to cure people with spinal cord problems. People who are paralysed will have a chance to walk again. But the problem is, I don't know where they get the stem cells from. A few people have accepted the treatment and are now well.

CynthiaLady SG

No , you cannot clone human because there is law, but you can clone body parts

blackchickenahkai SG

stem cells can be derived from the bone marrow if i am not wrong..
the placenta also can have stem cells..
fertilized eggs can be artificially grown to produce stem cells(of course which is illegal ...fetilisez eggs mush be inserted into the womb in not more than 48 hours )

ndmmxiaomayi SG

The problem is, when you do cloning, it’s always a whole, meaning the whole animal will be cloned. That’s why stem cell research started, it solves the problem of cloning parts. Stem cells can practically reproduced to become anything. Cloning can’t do this.

CynthiaLady SG

You have to go to India stem cell bank or something. They supposed to be giving it first..

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Yup, but hor, they never state who they get the stem cells from. If it is from the users themselves, I don't see why it's not reported. Most likely it's not from themselves, other ways are used to get it.

blackchickenahkai SG

stem cells target specifically a part ..
like if u wan to repair muscle cells..heart wall etc etc...
if wait for cloning..can die lo

blackchickenahkai SG

i;m not so sure bout that part..
but usuall they derived it from their body..
well..there are always india and china if u know what i mean

ndmmxiaomayi SG

And cloning cannot clone parts lor, as far as I know. I don't know how to clone a muscle from a muscle. Rolling Eyes

blackchickenahkai SG

Shocked
clone a muscle cell?
miscle cell is derived from stem cells..
stem cells is the main buiding block of other cells..
so how can u clone muscle cells?
Laughing

maybe i am wrong la..but muscle cells canot reproduce or undergoes seperation(axsexual reproduction),,,sigh..

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Haha, that one everyone also know. Laughing
