This is incredible. People who oppose stem cell research need to STFU.

Actually the stem-cell argument was mostly over embryonic stem cells with the right opposing it for moral reasons and the left pushing and selling it as a cure-all. What's wonderful is that new advancements in medical are finding that stem cells found in fat deposits or umbilical chords show far greater medical worth. At that point it becomes like donating blood or an organ: very few (pretty much just Jehovah's Witnesses) will oppose it.

And for the Canadians who can't watch the video:
The video is about a sprayer that can spray a special stem cell liquid that allows rapid healing of burned flesh. A man in a business suit and latex gloves demonstrates this for us by spraying the camera for no reason.

I wasn't aware that our skin had stem cells, I thought they were all locked away in our bone marrow. Regardless of what I known before, this is amazing. I can't tell that it was burned or at least don't suspect that it was burned that bad. It just looks like a bad case of sunburn.
It actually makes sense to spray your skin cells and stem cells to repair damaged skin. Your body itself will try to nurture those cells since it is yours.
