More optimistic news from MSNBC:

"Nov. 5 — In a feat that blurs further the line
between medicine and science fiction, two
independent teams of researchers have
grown human stem cells — cells that give
rise to all other cells in our bodies — in a
petri dish. The technique opens the door to
sprouting new heart muscle, new bone,
even new brain cells — a virtually unlimited
amount of human tissue to replace diseased
parts of the body."
