Good Stem Cell Research

Have you seen this video of the skin gun, the latest technology for helping burn victims? This flick has gone viral, and it's mostly true. Note that it's a dramatization, and not consisting of actual before-and-after photos. You'll also note the glaring lack of any mention of clinical trials. So it's future, not current tech. That means  you won't find the skin gun in your local hospital or derma clinic--yet. But it's on the horizon and amazing to consider. By the way, the stem cells used are adult stem cells taken from patients' own skin. No embryos were killed in the healing of this man's burn.
