Christopher Lyles, 30, had tracheal cancer that had progressed so far it was considered inoperable, the New York Times reported. In November, doctors made him a new windpipe - or trachea - made out of tiny plastic fibers seeded with stem cells from his own bone marrow.
[...]
Is the operation fail-safe? "Time will tell what the longevity of these devices is, how long they last," Dr. Harald C. Ott, an instructor in surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, told the Boston Globe. Ott is unsure how the artificial material will integrate into the recipients' bodies, with both the biology of the body and the outside air that passes through the windpipe.


I thought this was cool.

I can't wait until the first stem cell ***** enlargement surgeries.

Because that's where it always leads.

Because you have a small wiener or because you wish other men had bigger wieners?

I'd rather wait until the get a few hundred done, but you can have the first one if you want.

I support cloning over stem cells. I'd rather just have a brain dead copy of myself to harvest as I see fit.
