First Trachea Transplant using Adult Stem Cells

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/us-patient-artifical-trachea-transplant/story?id=15354809

The link above talks about the first ever trachea transplant by using a human "manufactured" trachea. The only reason why I say "manufactured", is because a donator donated their trachea and it had to match the reciever's trachea exactly but it is hard to find an exact match. So, scientists lined the trachea with tissue by using the adult stem cells to make a tissue that would match the patient's.

Human Cloning Video

                   This youtube video shows the potential problems that human cloning will have to over come in order for fiction to become a reality. “The money, the ability to do something useful with cloning is probably over on the research side of cloning, not the reproductive.” (Arthur Caplan Ph. D., University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethics) basically stating that human cloning is far fetched and researchers should focus more on research, but it could potentially be a likely achievement in 30-40 years.  

Political Cartoon

The political cartoon shows a little baby trying to get into heaven and the “gatekeeper” says, “Partial-birth abortion?” Assuming that the baby was killed like that, but the baby says, “No, stem cell research.” The political cartoon states that partial-birth abortions are just like stem cell research in that people disagree with abortion so people should disagree with stem cell research. Basically saying that it doesn’t matter how old the embryo is with abortion or stem cell research, it is still preventing growth and life and embryonic stem cell research shouldn’t be allowed.
