>UK survey: doctors should probably kill patients
>The British Social Attitudes Survey is being reported in UK papers today as “4 out of 5” and 80% of respondents feel that a doctor should be able to kill patients requesting to be killed and who are going to die anyway. The support for killing goes down if the patient is not likely to … Continue reading
Insulin from Umbilical Cord Cells
Another lead from Wesley Smith and Matthew Epinette at Bioethics.com on a report that Korean researchers have reported in the Korean Times that they will soon publish that they have produced beta islet insulin producing cells from umbilical cord blood. The abstract of the unproofed “in press” article is free here, at the website of … Continue reading

Mothers keep on giving
Stem cells, that is. We have further proof of yet another naturally occuring adult stem cell line that contributes to treatment of diabetes in the recipient long after introduction of the cells and without immune rejection. Scientists have reported in the “Proceedings of the National Academies of Science (Free abstract) about the discovery that mother’s … Continue reading

Nanofiber Scaffolds for Neural Stem Cells (and some truth)
Johns Hopkins researchers report that they have developed “nanofibers” impregnated with special proteins which allow them to grow neural stem cells from embryonic stem cells without “requiring high concentrations of growth factors.” One of the researchers, Neuroscientist Hongjun Song, comments on the immediate results of the research, which will not include actual patient therapy: “Eventually, … Continue reading
