Many of these stem cell treatments wind up cancerous…it will be terrible irony if the good news is you gained a cup, the bad news is you also gained breast cancer.

Stem cells can grow anything bigger. I’m sure this will lead to penis englargement soon.

#5–Liberty==I’m no expert either, but I do have high school science behind me. No one else responding, I’ll take a stab:

“Does stem cell therapy change the genetic makeup of the patient?” /// No. These tissue stem cells are injected at a site and they reproduce themselves at that location. They are not a “virus” that reproduces itself by infecting other cells. They do not migrate to the reproductive organs changing the eggs or sperm.

What about gene therapy?/// Yes, indeed, what about it?

I ask, because I wonder what the long term, societal impact this will be. /// In the end, we all die.

LL-I sure do hope you don’t think you have an opinion on anything tangential to science. Stifle yourself in such instances.

I now think that stem cell research should be mandatory, and all other forms of research (except penis embiggening) should be abandoned.

Re the picture- a little Japanese woman with big breasts is just a little Japanese woman with big breasts. Not much accomplished there…I know, a male sexist pig statement, but from the heart.

I’m guessing the model shows what breast enhancement can do for girls who look to be about 13 years old.

A little disturbing actually…

What does Nonami Takizawa (the model in your pictures) have to do with breast enhancement?

There is a group of physicians, patients and other interested people working together to get treatment with adult stem cells legalized in the U.S. as it should be. Please ask your family and friends to sign up (“JOIN”), and get as many doctors to sign up as well. See The American Stem Cell Therapy Association site at

This book is short form fiction, and many of the story’s deal with post humanism.

Ok, so this should work, right? They’ve been able to convert normal cells into stem cells (backwards from what it should be), then from stem cells, to breast fat cells, so theoretically, it could work. This could be the most important innovation to all men and women with a poor body image all over the world. Plan to hear about this on “The View” on Monday morning.

Guess just what blokes will want to use stem cells for growing next. Wonder how many ‘quick-buck’ doctors will be up there offering it also.
Could be classed as a ‘capital gain’ thus open for taxation here in the UK.
And. When the patient discovers that a cancer stem cell has been implanted what will be accepted as ‘proof’ in any court action, thus lawyers also must be planning bigger cars, houses, holiday homes and the like. Truly, parasites move in mysterious ways.

I wonder what else can be made bigger using this technique?

I’ll be the first to admit I know very little to nothing about the technical details of stem cell/gene therapy so this next question may seem a bit dumb.

Does stem cell therapy change the genetic makeup of the patient? What about gene therapy? I ask, because I wonder what the long term, societal impact this will be.
