WHAT? NO DEAD BABIES?: (via Jim Yates):

'Liposuction leftovers' easily converted to iPS cells, study shows (KRISTA CONGER, 9/07/09.Stanford University Medical Center )

Globs of human fat removed during liposuction conceal versatile cells that are more quickly and easily coaxed to become induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, than are the skin cells most often used by researchers, according to a new study from Stanford’s School of Medicine.

One of the many things they'll thank W for later is that he held the line on stem cells and protected them from their worst selves.
