There was something in the WaPo lately about simply using a chemical to encourage fat development in specific body parts. No stem cells needed, just a quick injection. I can't be arsed to look it up though.

Strictly speaking, "stem cells" are not the "stem cells" referred to by the Bush camp (er, by the few scientists in their camp who know what they're talking about).

You have stem cells throughout your body ...

Fetal (Embryonic) stem cells are the ones that are banned by the US Government.

These are perfectly legal to use federal money on stem cells

Good title regardless of accuracy btw
