The Positivity of Absolute Value

First read this.

It is very interesting and exemplifies the continuous attempts to discover the most effective and efficient methods of procuring stem cells.
As in the case of the Scots splicing human stem cells with those of Rabbits, trying to recreate the cells they need in a very reproductive matter (I have posted on this before).

And as the article so poignantly points out;
yes this research will surely come under swift and most likely unjustified scrutiny.

Regardless, unlike the Woo-suk Hwang fiasco, this research is being submitted to peer review immediately and will soon be either refuted or confirmed.
Yes we are all a little more skeptical after Hwang's false hope, but I should think that as reinforced skeptics we will be taking all of the necessary steps to not repeat the same mistakes.

And the press could do well to limit the South Korean references, lest they wish to see the science of the future leave them behind.
What's done is done.
We understand the magnitude of what happened and now hope to move on with renewed fervor and above all...Caution.
