Is it me or does President Ford look just like Homer Simpson?

Check him out. He'll be on tv all night. He looks just like Homer or one of the Simpson's characters I can't remember the name of.

I don't know, but what is the latest news on the stem cell research breakthroughs? I enjoyed your frequent posts on GFY about the latest stem cell info, but I don't frequent the zoo much anymore.

Oh you won't see me on GFY anymore. Something very wrong going on over there. That's another story.

Anyhow, every freakin' day there's a new breakthrough in stem cell research. Just yesterday they announced they can glean multi-potent stem cells from hair follicles! That sure threw the scientists for a loop. Just amazing stuff. Discoveries never end. I say in about a year we're all gonna be walking around in awe.

I am still amazed the US won't put some serious funding behind the research. It's a crying shame. So much to learn, so many people it could help. I guess funding countries that will take our money, but not appreciate it is more important. Sad.

It's a money thing. Prevent one group from getting the patents until your flunkies can.

Here's a new stem cell story where we can now create sperm and egg cells from stem cells. Taylored life:
