You would have to find a link to the study itself, which I couldn't find a link to...Would be worth looking into, though, wouldn't it?Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11473079900561187464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10381465.post-14196920812972354202007-11-08T08:06:00.000-08:002007-11-08T08:06:00.000-08:00I don't think anyone is going to recommend we start eating babies, Mr. Swift. I wish there were more information on why they chose to use cells from baby mice instead of cells from other adult mice or even the mouse who was damaged itself. <BR/><BR/>BTW - I don't know if it's just an online traffic jam, my computer being witchy, or what but did anybody else have trouble getting to the page with the full article? I haven't had a chance to read it 'cause I got an error message. Does it say in the full article why they used baby mice for the transplant?T E Finehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145212330537906750noreply@blogger.com
