This is a link to a really interesting article from BBC News about how scientists have recently discovered that skin cells can be used like stem cells from fetuses to rebuild damaged areas of the human body. This is an amazing breakthrough, especially because stem cells from fetuses caused such an uproar with the religious right who believed that this would encourage the full legalization of abortions. We can only hope this research will continue. It is unbelievable that this research was called to a halt because of the controversy over using fetuses (which I believe makes no sense because if theyre already dead, why not use them?) and if this research progresses, who knows how many lives could be saved.
