Didn't you know, staring at boobs relieves stress. :roll:

but it also causes physical stress. and relief.

They may look sexy, but God damn, the sounds they make when having sex sure are annoying.

Still, :thumbsup: to the developments.

whats wrong with using it for both?

nothing, but you figure that saving lives is more important than bigger boobs... altho that's just the viewpoint of someone who sees myeloma, leukemia and hodgkins disease from peoples that he knows and he knows are suffering... *shrugs*

I think it's better than nothing, compared to the US where it's like "OMG, stem cells!!! Save the children!!!". Maybe if more people came understand what stem cells are and their possible uses, there wouldn't be all this irrational opposition to it.

The Japanese clinic offering the stem cell implant surgery has a website here with before/after pictures, etc.

The fee for the procedure is 3 million yen, which equals roughly $25,000 USD if I'm not mistaken.

That's about 3-10x the going rate for a breast augmentation procedure here in the US. :shocked:

Damn, I was expecting the typical hollywood boob job before & after pics like this (click around)

This is whats called the "Money Maker" of Stem Research.

Saving lives is great, but companies need a little cash to be able to do the research. Silly things... well not so silly, things like this go to show how useful, safe, and TESTED the technology is.

I mean really, so many people say the internet/VHS was made big cause of Porn. How much different is this?
