hmm are they duplicating the skin? if so it could be used for robotic limbs making it only a cyberskeleton making them not stand out so much yust think about it.

This is great but its goona be sad when some person comes out and say [insert extremely stupid reason why this is bad] and start getting people to hate it...oh come on we all see this coming when they came out with stem cell reaserch something that can help many people but some people and look what that stupid people did to that.
Internal organ tissue is a dramatically more complex issue. Skin's pretty easy because it's flat and essentially uniform; you can just set it up in a sheet, nourish it, and then basically just watch to make sure nothing goes wrong.BabySinclair said:
The same doesn't apply with, say, a liver. We're certainly working on it, but even deriving one via manipulation of pluripotent stem cells is extremely difficult.
That's right, we are now officially MORE medically advanced than Star Wars. Though, to be honest, the fact that a high-ranking government official is not given proper medical treatment and dies in childbirth "for some unknown reason" kinda makes me think they aren't that good in the first place, not to mention no use of anesthesia for Vader.Quaxar said:
There is a wide variety of stem cells, obtaining skin cells is no problem as we will always have those, but for limbs/organs you need to obtain stem cells from a fetus, and what such action would do to you is a wild guess (you may very well end up without a limb), for the most part stem cell research is still mostly trial and error.The_root_of_all_evil said:
But this is pretty damn awesome, this will bring skin repair to a whole different level.
The primary argument that has been levied against previous stem-cell research was that the primary source of viable stem cells came from aborted (or miscarried) fetuses. This got flack from anti-abortion activists and some ethicists. Whether or not this was a wise argument is beyond the scope of this discussion, so I won't bother with that- but the main issue with stem cells stemmed (sorry, bad pun) from their source, not their existence.alik44 said:
I sincerely doubt anyone aside from a "You're playing God" nutter can raise objections to stem cells being grown from the patient's own healthy tissues and then being applied to any sort of wounds or diseased areas.

I have a feeling that this skin gun could go and start the zombie apocalypse somehow. Kind of I Am Legend-ish. That doctor totally sounds Russian too.
If that doesn't happen though, this thing is amazing and that doctor dude is a hero. We'll see.
