Lost a tooth? Just grow a new one!
LONDON
? Fake teeth, denture glue and sucking on bald gums may soon become a thing of the past, say a group of British scientists working on a procedure that makes teeth grow from stem cells implanted in the gum. The scientists at King?s College, London announced yesterday they had made a breakthrough in mice, coaxing stem cells to grow into teeth within only a few weeks. The procedure entails taking stem cells from a living being, nurturing them in a laboratory until they form a ball of new cells known as a bud, and inserting the bud into the gum where the new tooth is needed. The researchers estimate human teeth in adults could take about two months to develop fully. Here's a link to the story: http://www.timesofoman.com/newsdetails.asp?newsid=55948 |

You guys are funny. However, the point was that despite what the WT says, science is actually making substantial progress and will eventually solve a lot of man's health problems. The WT demonizes science and medicine, but how do they know God doesn't work through scientists and doctors?
