Who should be cloned first? Mother Theresa? MLK Jr? Gandhi?
Why do I get the feeling that those most worthy of being cloned would be the last to do it?
And is it just me or is there a really weird resemblance between the good doctor and...

Good Morning America Features Dr. Richard Burt's Work with Autoimmune Diseases
As recently featured on Good Morning America, Northwestern Memorial Hospital researchers have found that
transplanting patients with blood stem cells that originate from their own bone marrow can induce the remission of life-threatening, treatment-resistant lupus. Lupus affects an estimated 1.5 million people, mostly young females. Clinical research trials are also exploring the use of adult stem cells in other autoimmune diseases.
In a study published earlier this year in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers at Northwestern Memorial reported that the probability of
disease-free survival at five years for patients enrolled in the lupus research trial was 50 percent.
The study, which was
launched in 1997 when Dr. Burt performed the country's first stem cell transplant to treat lupus, enrolled 50 patients from 20 states and ran through January 2005.
The stem cell transplant process used by Dr. Burt and his team is similar to that done to treat some forms of cancer. The patients' own bone marrow stem cells are harvested from their blood. These cells, which can become different kinds of blood and immune system cells in the body, are then separated from the other blood cells. Next, in a process that usually requires a few weeks of hospitalization, patients immune systems are virtually destroyed through high doses of chemotherapy. Then the cleansed stem cells are returned to the bone marrow to repopulate the marrow and body in an effort to regenerate a healthier immune system.
"This is like re-booting a computer," says Dr. Burt. "The idea is that if you turn back the clock and let the immune system heal itself, the patient should have a chance of ending up without the disease."Read the full story here:

Company Milestone Achieved by Initiating Treatments in Heart Failure Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy -- a Severe Chronic Disease of the Heart
http://www.primenewswire.com/newsroom/news.html?d=134361
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 15, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Aastrom Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASTM), a leading regenerative medicine company, today announced that the first patient has been treated with the Company's autologous stem cell therapy for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The milestone marks the first human application of Aastrom's Cardiac Repair Cell (CRC) product to regenerate damaged heart tissue in patients with severely impaired cardiac function...

Ha! With all due respect to the "milestone" accomplishments of Aamstrom:
Over 40 cardiomyopathy patients treated in Thailand by TheraVitae have had stem cells injected directly in their hearts by thoracic surgeon Dr. Kit Arom (co-founder of the famed Minneapolis Heart Institute). Dr. Kit's "milestone was done in May of 2005. He was taught the procedure by his friend, THE world-pioneer of direct- into-the-heart injections of stem cells, Dr. Amit Patel of the University of Pittsburgh Dr. Patel conducted clinical trials on the procedure HE HIMSELF developed, in Uruguay in 2004. His results were mind-boggling. No one has yet been able to match Dr. Kit's results since he and he alone will accept patients with only weeks to live. The lawyer-dominated US medical "system" sends those no-hope patients to a hospice, not to an operating room.

Liver¦Longer!
Original Air Date: November 14, 2006
...As one of the world's leading researchers of stem cell activity, Dr. Theise's work has shown that adult stem cells from one part of the body can enable organs and tissue to regenerate in other parts, including the liver. Dr. Theise says scientists hope to harness the potential of this finding into new avenues for therapeutics...
