    The cells in this study were from induced pluripotent stem cells, where normal somatic cells are basically programmed to become pluripotent cells (which, otherwise, can only really be obtained from fetal tissue).

    Induced pluripotent stem cells were also made by Japanese scientists, but I think around the year 2000. That’s almost two decades after Republicans in the U.S. cut most federal funding for stem cell research.

    Those ‘Conservatives’ have damaged our society in so many ways.
