A new stem cell therapy, offered exclusively in China, appears to have given a blind two-year-old the chance to see for the first time.

You mean "Chinese Doctors". It's not like the country invented the procedure.

It's not like the doctors weren't practicing in China, residing in China, and were able to perform this operation as a direct result of the Chinese government's stem cell policies.

What exactly are you trying to get at? You sound so butthurt. Can't just enjoy the article for the miracle that it is?

Let's jus face it, this thread was not titled properly. It simply wouldn't be RevScene if we didn't make comments about these trivial things.

sigh, sometimes I think ethical issues r getting in the way of progress.

achiam 03-06-2009 04:50 PM

Thats fucking great. In response, I think they should give China back all the shit they pillaged from the palaces during the invasions. First and foremost those two statues from Yves Saint Laurent's estate auction.

I'd gladly give you those statues back... with some grenades stuffed inside. Enjoy!

Are you being sarcastic? Or are you implying China has no right to claim the statues?

Ch28 03-06-2009 05:19 PM

I predict this heading into FC in 5....4.....3.....

Vansterdam 03-06-2009 05:20 PM

amazing!

KingDeeCee 03-06-2009 05:21 PM

Wow...they gave her fake eyes right?

StylinRed 03-06-2009 05:22 PM

they should have allowed stem cell therapy ages ago

They have the right to buy them back sure. Just cause the guy who bought them before is dead, doesn't mean they go back to China by default, unless it was in his will. But yes, I was being sarcastic, seeing how you cry like a bitch about it in every thread.

Buy them back? The shit was stolen during wartime advances.
China's claim to the artifacts has just as much validity as claims to loot stolen by the Nazis in WW2. If a thief stole your car and then sold it to someone else with fake VINs, is that person the legal owner? of course not!
Cry like a bitch over buying them back? the heck are you talking about??

Way to go Off topic....

I fully support Stem Cell research, and wish it would expand at a very rapid pace.

"China" did not help the girl with her eyes. The doctors and researchers did. It's wrong for a country to claim credit where no credit is due. True, their non-religious policies allowed this to happen, but that still doesn't mean they deserve the credit for what the brilliant doctors did.

If you know nothing of this type of topic, I suggest you just don't reply to comments like mine.

And... here we go, it simply wouldn't be RevScene if there wasn't some sort of off-topic debate going on whenever the word "China" is typed in a thread.
I'm just surprised ZhangFei hasn't jumped in yet.

As Ch28 said... heading to FC in 3... 2... 1...

impactX 03-07-2009 12:47 AM

Good for the girl.

SkinnyPupp 03-07-2009 05:24 AM

This reminds me of when "China" won the Oscar for best director (you should have seen the publicity) when Ang Lee won for Brokeback Mountain. Except the small fact that Lee is Taiwanese, and the movie itself was banned in the country that claimed to have won :lol

^wtf i didnt know that happened LOL

your argument over semantics is simply pathetic. "america" didn't invade iraq, the soldiers did. see what i did there? by your logic, nothing should be attributed to a country, only its citizens. so no nation has ever accomplished anything, right?

i suggest you don't post comments like yours if you don't want to called out on your failed anal retentiveness. highbrowing over the internet is even worse than e-thugging.
