Stem Cells At Work

A German who had his lower jaw cut out because of cancer has enjoyed his first meal in nine years -- a bratwurst sandwich -- after surgeons grew a new jaw bone in his back muscle and transplanted it to his mouth in what experts call an "ambitious'' experiment.

That's a great story and testimony for why stem cell research should be given the green light, it's giving a man a second chance at life. It's said before the transplant that he was sick of living, and now thanks to science he can enjoy life again.

Sounds great that this experiment was a success. If I ever had a situation come up where I could be put almost normal again if I gave doctor's some of my stem cell's and grew the thing inside me, I'd gladly let them do it.

Wuss.

MY jaw's been dislocated for four years.

I wonder if this could be used to make new uteruses. Then my woman could have kids.

Your like a walking sack of sympathy arnt you?


And it couldnt be dislocated for four years. Nobody is that stupid to not get it re-aligned.

How do you eat and talk? Do you not eat either? Are you going to drag sympathy out of that too?



EDIT: True, he has no teeth, but i guess that pales in comparison to having a jaw again.

Typhoid, when will you learn?

I only got it fixed recently because the insurance company finally viewed my mouthpiece as "necessary for sustaining quality of life" or something like that. My family isn't rich like yours. We can't blow 1,500 dollars on a mouthpiece. It's not stupidity.

Furthermore, I didn't know it was dislocated until about 6 months until I went for the MRI that told me so. I could still eat, it was just painful and sometimes made a loud clicking noise.

For the first month I had my mouthpiece in, I could only "eat" Slim-Fast shakes or anything liquified. It was super-fun, no sarcasm. Oh wait.

Typhoid, why don't you educate yourself before coming and attacking me? Look up temporomandibular joint disorders. You might learn something.

Yes, to answer your question it could be used to make new internal organs. There is so much power in this that it's insane. Heart transplants, liver and kidney transplants. It all could be so easy.

Yeah that's awesome.

well, he still has no teeth...
