Dental Breakthrough: Mouse Stem Cells Grow Teeth

Hopefully Christian groups won't try to stop this technology from improving the lives of thousands of people (if properly developed).

I love the concept of having the ability to get fresh teeth for people, but the idea of a mouse growing it is a little gross.

Stem Cell research is our hope for major cures and will relieve suffering. What do want to bet religious groups will try to block this with their primitive way of thinking. God won't cure you, but science will.

I would love to have my teeth replaced by fresh new grown real ones. And i believe any other part/organ of the human body would greatly benefit from this. Stem cells are the future.
