Please somebody …
Please somebody tells me how can I contact Dr Nick Di Girolamo from University of New South Wales (UNSW) medical researchers….please give me his email address…
Not at all. These …
Not at all. These are adult stem cells from the patient’s own body.
is this banned?

It doesn’t involve …
It doesn’t involve incision. Dr Nick suggests that anyone interested should make an appointment to see their ophthamologist and show them this video.
He is the …
He is the MAN
GOD BLESS
Nick!!!!

Wait, you want to – …
Wait, you want to -shake- them? o_O
Or you want to shake their hands?
does anyone know if …
does anyone know if this can help eye refractive disorders? or if incision is required like laser eye surgery? i volunteer myself to any experiments with this technology on curing refractive disorder, my glasses/ contacts are -2.25. thanks.
What the are …
What the are you talking about?
Hot damn, I attend …
Hot damn, I attend UNSW and I’d personally like to go up and shake the researchers who developed this solution because it’s god amazing. Just have to find them first.
Brilliant.
what colour crayon …
what colour crayon did you use to compose that nuanced response?
Em, what?
Em, what?
You make no sense.
You make no sense.
Great. so they can …
Great. so they can make cripple children, who need surgery too, and make more cripple people, until we all wont survive without their procedures. Natures (or Gods if you are relirious) solution is for such people to have *disadvantages*, so humanity gets *better*.
Good job, up humanity! Really! I hope we die out. We deserve it!
what about people …
what about people with myopia or astigmatisms? does this require any slicing of the eye like in laser eye surgery? interesting.
My friend just …
My friend just forward this to me, saying I had to see this. I’m crying now out of joy since I am considered legally blind in one eye. At this rate, hopefully I’d be able to see in 10 years!

Technology is …
Technology is simply put …applied knowledge! It is neither good nor bad. It is just a tool.
Fire is a good example of technology. You can use it to warm your home or set your neighbor on fire. Nuclear is just a more powerful tool and Nanotech, Biotech and Robotics will result in very powerful applied knowledge. The solution is never ignorance or ludditism. However all human freedoms and liberties require a degree of responsibilities in a free civil society.
Anything for the …
Anything for the advancement of science and the human race.
Maybe after we evolve a bit we will stop believing in foolish things such as god and stop thinking so radically eh?
I’m just glad we …
I’m just glad we have made a major break through with stem cell i like to see results and I’m all for anything that gives people hope.
I never said that …
I never said that progress should be stopped. Also, the government and military are in with the scientists, but they also have power to do what they want with the knowledge.
Either way, we’re just going in circles. To address the initial problem: I distrust unchecked power, science can be used as a weapon, so I am a little hesitant towards new technologies. I never said I am against stem cell research. No worries.
but it isn’t the …
but it isn’t the science community that will misuse knowledge. You see, you can’t and you should never stop progress. What you must do is control the use of knowledge when it becomes malignant. Science provides the knowledge, the military and government are prone to misusing it, so they are the ones that need to be controlled.
The people who you …
The people who you feel need to be watched, governments and the military turn to science. Where do you think nuclear weapons came from? They don’t just fall out of the sky.
I just don’t see …
I just don’t see any danger in Stem Cell research and find your lack of faith in the science community to be nonsensical.
Government and military need to be watched at all times, but the scientific community builds on sharing information and knowledge and as such, it is far from dangerous.
