Sometimes I wonder if God laughs at us and our limited minds. The Stem Cell issue is one of the issues that recently prompted this question in me. Two sets of Scientists recently released a study in which they were able to change regular human skin cells so that they took on the characteristics of embryonic stem cells. That's right, the same stem cells that people argue are the only way that we'll ever cure Parkinsons Disease or spinal cord injuries. So it may be that the debate we've had over embryonic stem cell research will be moot as these new cells can do the same thing without having the overwhelming ethical questions. Thanks be to God. He created all things, even our cells.

His planed payment for sins IS only one way.
actually there were numerous different ways God could have gone about the sin problem, that's just the one he decided to use.
i read about this earlier this week and it sounds great. the big issue as i understand it is replication of the process and how to make it work without having to use cancer genes to get the skin cells to mutate. if they can figure out how to do that, then maybe we'll find out if all the hype over stem cells is true.
