Once upon a time, I had a beloved kitty cat that contracted a blood disease. We could have kept her alive if once a month we would have gotten her a full blood transfusion.... which would have killed a different cat each month the blood was needed.
"Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid."
AAAcualy, I saw some video of stem cells doing to pretty incredible things with rats. What I saw was:
They broke, and removed a chunk of the rat's spinal cord. Like, 2 or 3 vertabrae worth. Didn't just break, but actually removed it. So, there was a gap in the spinal cord. They put a glob of stem cells in there. And that's really what it was. Just a glob of it. The stem cells actually started reconnecting the cord. The rat started walking again. Cool thing was, the stem cells didn't connect the stuff correct. In other words, there's like tons of 'wires' going down your cord. When the stem cells reconnected them, it was all random. It didn't match the top half of the wire to the bottom half. So, they figured the rat was gonna be all mucked up. Brain sends a signal to move it's right leg down the old wire. But, the signal ended up in the left toe or something. Cool thing is, the brain figured this out. It eventually started sending the leg move signal down the wire that would actually move the leg. So, things were all jacked up, but the brain sent the signals down different wires till it figured it all out. The rat was able to walk again and was gaining aditional functions all the time. It was clumsy, but walking none the less. I was impressed as hell from that.
I hope that made sense.
Are you saying that we can now have a race of genetically enhanced super-rats?
Sweet!
I for one welcome our new vermin overlord. All hail Ben!

Good for that guy. Bad for me. And for you, although you don´t know it.
I think that's what he meant.
You´re right. Sorry, English is my second language.
And fell free to fix my posts, I can learn from it.
Portuguese, I´m from Brazil.
I can read English very well, no trouble on that, but to speak... it´s a pain.
This forums are making me to work hard, I´m learning.
