several weeks ago I got a download from Diane Wysack re the creation of synthetic stem cells at UC San Francisco. They were unable to do further research beause of the Bush restrictions. Just recently she sent me email on research where adult stem cells were turned back into embryonic stem cells. I'm sure you've heard of the "Mickey has two moms" research where a mouse was created from 2 female mice. Does politics enter here?
