imsorry said:I love this picture!!! You guys look great together!!
Yes, it is!!Shugardrawers said:I do too. I don't know what it is about this picture but it's the best I've ever taken. Maybe I'm prejudiced but I think some of it is that it's pretty obvious the people in the picture are madly in love

Uhm, Can you refer to this thread then pose the question againShugardrawers said:If you were taking a dental assisting program, would you be interested in a presentation on the discovery of stem cells in primary teeth and would you think it was related enough to dentistry to be relevant to the class

Shugardrawers said:The Reader's Digest, in a nutshell version is that baby teeth have been found to contain stem cells. Stem cell research is very controversial because up until this discovery the only real source of stem cells was aborted/miscarried fetuses or the fertilized eggs some couples have frozen for later use. By harvesting these cells from baby teeth you remove the ethical dilemna from the equation and in addition, everyone would have their own source of stem cells if they needed them. Stem cells are thought to be the key to regenerating body tissue and could lead to cures for parkinson's disease, alzheimers, spinal cord injuries with paralysis and possibly even generating new organs for people who need transplants. Because of the controversy, there's not much research being done right now and this could open up a lot of possibilities.
