An 'ethical' way to get stem cells

[scott1]

Men’s testicles may provide an “ethical” source of embryonic stem cells (ESCs), suggest new experiments in mice.

A team in Germany has successfully grown mouse ESC-like cells from spermatagonial stem cells which normally turn into sperm. The ESC-like cells can be grown into all tissues of the mouse body, suggesting that if the same could be done in men, it would provide patients with a source of tissue-matched cells for repairing any damaged organs or tissue.

Atleast no one gets hurt(I think..)...Lets hope there's more research on stms cells.

This seems interesting. May I see your source?

If you have to put it in quotes, it's probably not ethical.

Well, if the men who participate donate willingly, then it's definitely not unethical.
