Sorry if someone already made a similar comment (I haven’t read them all yet), but as a type 1 diabetic, this whole issue makes my blood boil. Everytime it comes up, the reporter has to mention how this could help diabetics, and I wonder, “How in the hell is that going to work?” My body destroys my insulin producing cells. Putting stem cells in my pancreas isn’t going to do shit - my body will destroy those too. Duh. I think this is like any other issue about federal funding: someone wants the money and will say just about anything to get it.
