  Should I just avoid any news article with the word "China" in it from now on? They just keep getting worse.

  "Baby powder" :lol:
  still this is odd though, how exactly is it a stamina booster? and oh god if they are willing to make babies to sell to people for video games (referencing another thread) this just gave them a new opportunity.

  Didn't the article say that they also get them from abortion clinics? Unless they perform partial-birth abortions there...
  :gloom3:

  
  
  Oh, I'm sorry. My bad.

  The few women crazy enough to go through nine months of pregnancy and a birth for that without emotionally attaching to the baby at all are probably ripe for an eternal stay at the psychiatry.
  
  
  But it's doubtable they themselves get paid at all to begin with.

  I might not care if it actually did anything useful (like use their stem cells for research/cures, etc), but this is just stupid.

  
  
  I just want to mention so that nobody's confused, we don't actually get embryonic stem cells from embryos. What we get them from is the morula. At ~5 days something is formed called a blastocyst, and that inner cell mass is what contains the embryonic stem cells.
  
  They're not in tissue, they're actually in the beginning before any tissue forms.
  
  The reason we want embryonic stem cells though, is that they're pluripotent (can form any kind of cells), unlike adult stem cells that are multipotent (can only form specific cells, for example a mammary stem cell only forms mammary cells and so on).
  
  Anyways, I just figured I should probably clear that up so someone doesn't get the wrong idea...
  
  :awesome:
  
  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]While I'm on the topic, I figure I should mention that cancers are tissue specific stem cells that keep hearing the message self renew and not differentiate...[/SPOILER]

  I mean, i've read some sick things, but that's horrible. Worse than those live animal keychains.
