#1 Sintocell

Brilliant choice for naming a stem cell R&D outfit. I rank it right up there with PMS Lasers and Ayds Diet Candies.

#2 Does this mean we could take cells from Noam Chomsky's brain and make them live again?

#6 Since there is no way on this planet that those dead stem cells could possibly have turned into a living, breathing being, it seems to me that any criticisms about using them for experimental stuff just evaporated with them being declared "dead". Right?

#7 "These samples aren't dead. There's still cellular activity." Fuchs - John Carpenter's The Thing, 1982

I'm not buying it. If there's anything that certain it's cell death.

The article seems to indicate that there was still some cellular activity at some level and that the cells were not truly dead, but merely in some form of suspended animation.

#8 I'm not buying it. If there's anything that certain it's cell death.

Maybe. But I don't know that I would want my child to be born from one of these cells! It's something to think about.
