Magic Gun Sprays Skin Cells to Heal Burns Almost Instantly

Yeah I know, science it works bitches. Try to do that by praying to God. (No offence to religious people. But when you don't accept medical treatment because of your believe is something else then science, then you deserve what's coming to you. If you refuse it for your children, then you should be ignored.)

Reminds me of the story about the guy who was stranded on his roof in the middle of a flood. A guy in a rowboat comes by and offers him help, but the man says "No thanks, God will save me." A little while later helicopters come to his roof and throw down a rope, and again he says, "No thanks. God will save me." So, the water rises and the man drowns. Up in Heaven, the man meets God and asks why God did nothing to save him, no matter how much faith he had and how much he prayed. God just looked at him and said, "What are you talking about, first I sent a guy in a rowboat, and then a helicopter!"

Whatever's out there beyond this life, it's not doing anything obvious to help us (if there is something out there), and we have to rely on ourselves.

Go Science!

What? You want to herald in the End Times?

So this is pretty much awesome.

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.

Oh I'm not saying it will be easy, we'd have to put the cancer into remission before we could overwhelm it for a start, but that's such an amazing stepping stone hurdled.

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Wow, that is freaking fantastic(and if not remarkably incredible)

What's that, anti stem-cell research advocates?

I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome this is.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

This is AMAZING!!!
I have some very ugly scars, and this will help billions of people in many, many years to come!!!

And boo NGC for blocking this on youtube.

If they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought that he was a burn victim.
Sure he looks a little red, but I thought it was just lighting and nervousness.

 

[icame]

Science is fucking awesome.

 

[gabe12301]

now we can see mediguns on every hospital!.

.....on???

0.o

I thought about a medigun turret that can snipe burn victims from across the city when I saw that.

 

[General Ken8]

TAHT'S AWESOME!!! (So awesome that it made me misspell "that") Seriously, that's amazing.
The technology involved could be the first step to the healing of other organs as well.

Plus, from an entirely geeky viewpoint, it's friggin' cool!

Yeah, eventually this could lead to guns to heal other organs, it seems like it'd be similar because both involve stem cells. I think that's a more exciting possibility, but still it's amazing

I'm afraid to click the video, it looks gross.

But really? Spraypainting your skin back on? Dwarf Fortress absolutely needs this.

Only if you want a more efficient way to wear the skins of your enemies or something. Dwarves don't need a medigun. Or healing. They'll just walk/drink it off.

Clearly, you've never been affected by Kitten Rot.

All their skin rots off, and there's not a thing you can do except waste tons of soap.

1 step closer to me becoming the medic from tf2! now i just need a big burly man and a way to become invincible

 

[laststandman]

That was beautiful. It's incredible that we live in a time where this is possible. I hope that experiments turn into mass implementation.

 

[Meander112]

What I love is that this isn't even remotely magic. It's all science and it's all awesome. If it really works as well as they say, and since it doesn't seem involve any sort of rigorous chemical treatments, hopefully it'll be approved for normal medical use very soon. I guess the only question is how complicated it is to turn the skin stem cells into the "spray".

 

[Lucifron]

To paraphrase xkcd:

Science, it works.

*SQUUEEEEEL*

That is AWESOME!

 

[Valanthe]

If the "Moral Watch dogs" boo this project out of funding... I swear to every god you may or may not believe in, I'm goin' medieval on someone...


*checks his row of torches and continues sharpening his pitchfork*

 

[googleboy]

From flesh guns and bone super glue to bacta tanks. In the end, the future is always just a little bit brighter.

Science for the win

 

[Gitty101]

One step to medi-gel!
I just hope the Reapers don't come about.

Dammit! Nerfed again!
