Good God. Possibly repairing the brain? We're practically sitting on top of a miracle cure and who's holding it back? Oh, right. The same people whining about the sanctity of life.
Edited to add: Oh, look. The adult stem cells don't seem to have the dangerous unpredictability of fetal stem cells. So what's the problem? Stem cell research FTfuckingW!

New adult stem cell toy under development. The "skin gun" which is used to help burn patients grow skin back really quickly (and in the case of the guy in the video, without any scarring).

Holy crap! That is a whole heap of awesome!
I have a cousin who has spent a significant part of his life (most of it) with horrible burn scars and health problems, so I'm very interested in burn treatments.

We are truly living in the future. They've grown a whole heart using adult stem cells!!!
The group working on this says they're not nearly ready to start transplanting these into people yet, but it's a first step towards growing transplant organs from a patient's own cells.
