Using stem cells to grow spare body parts
A Finnish man has grown a new jaw for himself from stem cells. I’m happy to see this exciting forward progress with stem cells, as the implications for humanity are profound. Soon we will be able to grow our own replacement organs instead of getting transplants from others. Once we have a president in the United States that legalizes stem cell research, we should see even more forward progress.

Actually, if you read the article, you find : "Scientists in Finland said they had replaced a 65-year-old patient’s upper jaw with a bone transplant cultivated from stem cells isolated from ****his own**** fatty tissue and grown inside his abdomen."
This is yet another ADULT stem cell success…. and there are no restrictions on this research.
