heh. I have no clue. I read the article at random and find it VERY interesting that they have successfully restore an eye that was damage YEARS ago from chemical burn. That is pretty awesome.the eyes have it!
(/bronx cheer , /rimshot )
... hey... I have a good eye and a bad eye.. wonder how much it costs?
/edit
crap.. my problem with left eye is in the retina, not the cornea. =(
Yea but only magical blindness!!Video Games taught me that eye drops cure blindness

I should have a few jars of the stuff lying around the basement. I'll see what'll cost to mail you up a couple.Rats and mice are fun and all, but man oh man what I could do if I got my hands on some fetal stem cells.
In future, I think it is possible with my very limited understanding. I mean the stem cell taken from the good eye essentially regenerate cornea. I'm sure when the "raw form" of stem cell (like the one from embryo or something similar that can be manipulate to anything) could regenerate a whole eye combine with the other thread of Dr. Venture's research of reprogramming/artificial DNA instruction could possibly do it. It would be basically writing your own code (DNA) and then compile into a limp, eye, ears, even skin color right? (stem cells)Would a future application of this technology be to restore 20/20 vision in people with conditions like myopia and astigmatism?
That... that was HORRIBLE. *grins*I see.
'Cept we don't get to kill little crying girls to collect it, so it's much more boring in an ethical sense.So.... Stem Cells are Bioshock's ADAM (or vice-versa) - not trolling, just trying to put it into a context. I knew OF stem cells, but I don't know that much ABOUT them... I didn't realise they were versatile to this extent...

Well that sucks... there's got to be a way to fix my stupid myopia that doesn't involve cutting up my cornea with laser beams.
How come so many people need glasses now? Do we all have craptastic genetics or something?

well also today people are allow to have children regardless of traits. So I can agree that issues are being pass down to newer generation.Because about a million to 500,000 years ago, if you had bad vision, you were dead. If you're dead, you can't pass on offspring with bad vision. There are lots of theories out there on how the development of society and culture caused a wave of dysgenics. I happen to agree with a lot of these theories especially when it comes to cancer, immune disorders, autism, and retardation. There are other factors too like the fact that we have such a huge population leading to simple probability that bad genes get passed along at a much more pronounced rate.

No.So are we doomed as a species then?
I have a feeling scientist like Chaz do have high moral than the government officials when it comes to science. I'm sure the Military would love to tinker and make stuff that no one else has and use it as a weapon.That's comforting to hear. I don't understand these concepts as well as you so it's easy for me to panic over stuff I don't fully comprehend.

I see! Said the blind man. When he picked up his hammer, and saw...I see.
