Stem cell clinics ripping off patients, bullying scientists
The article re-visits the controversy that is in the study of stem cell research. Stem cell research is a now profitable process where many scientists offer stem cells for all medical processes. Recently, a 36 year old man was treated with esophagus cancer as he was given an entirely new windpipe made of stem cells.
