So I started my day all normal and what not...and I got to work and popped open my google reader (if you don't have one, you NEED one), and one of the blogs I follow is some medically journally thing that I can barely understand. Nevertheless I read it, pretend to feel smart and usually move on...Howeva...today...there was an article that I could SORTA understand more so than usual AND its rather importante (yea I meant to put the "e" there. You're suppose to say it with a bad Mexican accent.)

Here is the snippet:
Scientists from the University of Wisconsin, USA, report in the journal Development the successful generation from human embryonic stem cellsof a type of cell that can make myelin, a finding that opens up new possibilities for both basic and clinical research. (here is the rest)


Didya hear that?! Cells that MAKE myelin? They make it, as in they create it, as in they can replace lost myelin! Shazaam! This is HUGE people. HUGE! The article was like....we used stem cells to create myelin...blah blah blah...we had to use emryonic stem cells...blah blah blah..we tested it in mice...blah blah blah...and it worked.

That was all the info I need. I still stand by my stance that we'll never get a cure, but shit if they turn this into a treatment that actually works, sign my ass up. Lets get all controversial here too...I do not care that they are using embryonic stem cells. Its not a dead baby. Its not some life that never got to be lived. Its a stem cell that can intensely help and even CURE many many diseases, including maybe even mine. So I'm all about it. I would normally insert some horrible dead baby joke right about here, however, I'd probably insult rest of the people that actually still read our blog. I'll save those jokes for later...like after we've been on Oprah.
