These are beating human heart cells, suitable for replacing those lost during a heart attack, that were created from the (Bush approved) H7 line of human embryonic stem cells.
This work was done at the University of Washington in Seattle by the Murry Lab.

Big deal. Entire hearts built w/subject's stem cells (no tumors, no rejection). I have other videos of this and other organs grown and transplanted wi 8 wks from patient's stem cells (using an ink jet printer) and regeneration from biomatrix materials that draw patient's stem cells to the site. Embryonic work in embryo and while others work in people (more affordable, insurance starting to pay, less complications from surgery, no rejection ... ) Which is better, friend?

That is amazing! Its different now though. You don't need to even used embryos to create stem cells and other individual tissues. You can use ordinary skin cells. Japanese scientists could creat beating heart tissue from skin cells.
