Separated at Birth?
While Obama and his many pens may have been a big fucking deal, scientists continue to blow their own minds by creating replica bones made from stem cells.
From the NY Times:
Tissue-engineered bones have many implications, according to a leading figure in the field, Dr. Charles A. Vacanti, director of the laboratories for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He has no connection to the Columbia work. “If your imaging equipment has sufficient high resolution, you can construct virtually any intricate shape you want — for example, the middle ear bone, creating an exact duplicate,” he said. “It’s a splendid example of tissue engineering at its best.”
Well, if you’re creating bones from scratch, you better damn well hope your imaging equipment is sufficient. You want that laser pointer thingy to be HD 3D 1080p plasma-lcd-led stupefyingly crisp.
And inquiring minds want to know: will the Obama health care plan cover a new leg bone?
Heck, if this plan is a baby killer, as Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer so vociferously blurted, we’ll have plenty of stem cells from those government sponsored abortions to craft any number of new limbs. And is it just me, or does Neugebauer look an awful lot like Milton Waddams from Office Space?
That’s right people—I’m back … again.
