We’ve heard a lot of talk about using stem cells to produce replacement organs. Many have dismissed it as science fiction. But that's no longer true. Researchers at the University of Minnesota have been quietly perfecting techniques to do precisely that. And they are using not embryonic stem cells—b
The Stem Cell Research Debate
https://reachmd.com/programs/clinicians-roundtable/the-stem-cell-research-debate/967/
Dr. James Sherley, a stem cell heretic, discusses his stem cell views and proposes that many other researchers in his field share his strong views but do not always speak out because of their desire to get tenure and or be published. He also explains his side of the story regarding his tenure at MI
Beyond the Embryonic Stem Cell Debate

Although President Obama has favored funding for embryonic stem cell research, the moral debate continues. But that discussion may overshadow the fact that biotech companies have actually made the most early progress, not in embryonic stem cells, but in adult stem cells. Dr. Robert Harman, chief exe
