  • I had a couple of surgeries where they took bone marrow from my hip and spun the stem cells out. They then placed the stem cells in my ankle to grow a new ankle bone. They were my stem cells.

    My friend and I have a game going on. We go through each video on this channel and just from the title predict % of religious/anti-religious comments. I said around 75%, underestimated it seems
  • Why are we not funding stem cell research better? We need to get rid of needless regulation. Biotech needs to be advancing at a much faster rate than it is right now.
