progress in stem cell research to date


What a great film. Is any of this stem cell technology in the film actually real or possible and if so is it available only to the wealthist 1% ?

To my knowledge, it's theoretically possible and has been tested in vitro but I don't think there's been any actual impregnation let alone infant born from that technique yet. So it's not a question of 1%, it's partly the science that is still being worked on... and of course the time it will take for the scientific community and society in general to accept that is possible.
Can you picture the reaction of the conservatives who already go crazy at the mention of gay marriage? Women making babies without men? Be prepared to hear and read the word "abomination" a lot.
