Skin from a factory – this has long been the dream of pharmacologists, chemists and doctors. Research has an urgent need for large quantities of ‘skin models’, which can be used to determine if products such as creams and soaps, cleaning agents, medicines and adhesive bandages are compatible with skin, or if they instead will lead to irritation or allergic reactions for the consumer.

They are still working on the creation of blood vessels to make the skin compatible for transplantation for medical use...but imagine the benefit for burn victims. Adult bone marrow stem cells were apparently used, so they didn't come from fetal harvesting...which everyone can agree is a good thing.

As a fetal harvester, I object to these racist remarks. None the less, I look forward to the day when the Britney's and Angelena's of the word are old and gray, and go in for a complete re-skinning every couple of years.
