A further update on upcoming stem cell research:
Firstly the USA approved ethical stem cells – great news. They have proper guidelines to stick too, no gray areas, which makes conducting research a lot easier. I mean there will always be protestor’s, but then it would feel rather odd if there weren’t any! :)
The stem cell boob job - 26 November 2009
The stem cell boob job involves taking fat from your thighs to boost your bust, which sounds like every women's dream. Probably not considered a major life saving health intervention but for every medical advance there is usually a cosmetic process that also reaps the rewards; some good and some bad.
Part of me feels this process is safer compared to silicone implants, which are basically an unnatural foreign material being inserted into your body. Plus there are the dangers of the material leaking and causing unwanted chemical and immune reactions. But there are some issues with this new process i.e. is it safe? Does it work? Stem cells also run the risk of genetic changes, which may be detrimental and possibly permanent in the long term. There are always pros and cons; an element of risk for every procedure; cosmetic or otherwise. I suppose we should all be thankful for what we have and how we are but if someone is really that desperate to change something about them, then it goes without saying that every process should be well thought out and researched before signing up for it.
