- alappat1, on 01/06/2009, -2/+8Here's to hoping that the stem cell breakthrough (involving the skin cells), will end the debate about embryonic stem cells. ("oh those scientists kill babies" etc etc) . At this point anything that removes hatred of science in people's eyes is a good thing to me. Once we get some respect back into the field, then we can start trying to argue for secular morality instead of religious dogma.
- HenryFatass, on 01/06/2009, -0/+4We don't do that here.

In the first case, Berlin doctor Gero Huetter transplanted bone marrow from a virus-resistant donor to a man who had both HIV and leukemia. By doing that, he cured both diseases with one treatment."
Incredible! - Cheesepuffly, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2The first or the noob?
- MSP1, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2So everything that happened in your life before 2009 was pointless? It is obvious from your "comment" that 2009 is going to be pointless for you come 2010. You may as well give up now.
- FastZ, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1That's what I thought too. I don't follow medicine very much so this is the first time I've heard of this.
- 4DFX, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1What about the discovery of memristors?
- TheMachine1, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2Going to hold on till 2011.
- oldsurly, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Nope, it can only run Alien vs Predator.
- jgtg32a, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Nope
- FastZ, on 01/06/2009, -1/+2Finding ice on Mars is in the number 1 spot? Please tell me this list is in no particular order....
- Cheesepuffly, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Good it has water, but what the fudge is in that water?
- jgtg32a, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Actually it won't end that debate, it will make the debate irrelevant. Embryonic SC had advantages XYZ and now Adult SC do.
The only problem to solve now is convincing people that we don't need to use Embryonic SC anymore we use adult, no more dead/cloned babies. Getting that though people heads will be harder than the science that went into the discoveries. - Cheesepuffly, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Can it run crysis? (oh yes, i went there)
- clclark33, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1Well, to be fair, this won't catch on as a standard treatment; FTA they had to kill off the patients immune system first in order to use this treatment. Not quite the cure the world has been waiting on all this time.
- elementop, on 01/06/2009, -0/+1It won't catch on because the pharmaceutical industry can't get a cash cow with every transplant if they use this technique. I've had a kidney transplant, and I'd gladly swap my immune system for the kidney donor's immune system if it meant I didn't have to take $1000 worth of immunosuppressants every month.
Don't get me wrong. I'm very, very grateful for the transplant -- it's way better than dialysis -- but I'd be even more grateful to be free of the need to take these meds every single day for the rest of my life. - sofaKing812, on 01/06/2009, -1/+1The last line of the article got me a bit too excited thinking about when that will happen.
"The red planet may have an inhospitable climate, but at least it has water, and that will be tremendously useful when the first group of explorers lands there. " - neftis, on 01/07/2009, -0/+0The most incredible scientific break through would have been LHC ... if it had worked perfectly... it would reveal great secrets about the begining of the universe... imagine how would that change space theories
- esc27, on 01/06/2009, -2/+2I can't wait to see how the ice on Mars manages to cure cancer, HIV, and perfect our stem cell based medicine.
- mynameisjonas, on 01/06/2009, -2/+1what about all the times in 2008 when Digg discovered the cure for cancer and AIDS?
- kennethsteven1, on 01/06/2009, -5/+4That supercomputer is running "Jaguar". That's not even 64 bit. Perhaps soon they will be able to upgrade to "Snow Leopard".
- Cheesepuffly, on 01/06/2009, -3/+2Noob
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -1/+0I'm waiting to see the transitional fossil between T Rex and an Ape. :O) The Prophets of the Dirt said the Coelacanth died out millions and millions and millions and millions of years ago, but nobody thought to tell these Dirt Prophets they've been catching this fish for years off the coasts of South America. Oh Gawd, save us from such idiotic cartels....
- Fabbyfubz, on 01/06/2009, -3/+1You're just mad you're not first
- TheMachine1, on 01/06/2009, -8/+22008 is dead and buried .
- Fabbyfubz, on 01/06/2009, -21/+3First
