Killing cancer cells with Embryonic Stem Cells

In a study of human tumors growing in mice, University of Minnesota researchers have found that immune cells derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) completely eliminated the tumors in 100 percent of mice tested.

These new killer cells could help develop cures for leukemia, lymphoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer and testicular cancer.

@killerboyfoolz I'm almost certain that if there was a God, He/She would support people who would do absolutely anything necessary to "preserve & sustain a person's lifespan". I mean, don't all these fuckin Christian groups say they're for the "sanctity of life"? I mean, you think they'd be in support of embryonic stem cell research. And the potential good that may come about from such medical research.

@HarveyRex23 You'd think they'd be in the market of saving lives, huh. Lol

kill cells with cells. wow.

this would be nice.. if it would really be proven or have its success in real human with that illness...

“I feel I am completely cured” says Ms. Gianopoulos, “my symptoms have disappeared and I have a recovery of many functions, notably my balance and my muscle strength is all coming (back). Even after six months, I feel like there are good changes happening almost every day. Before, my biggest fear was that the changes wouldn’t (hold). I don’t even worry about having a relapse anymore”.
