evil chimperor-financed zionist corporation makes plans to steal the wabos of young men to make stem cells and extend their life spans to enable a fascist police state (and tap the phones of snotty graduate students)
Well, not really. Still, I hope I don’t have to donate those organs anytime soon:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - US researchers said on Saturday they had transformed immature cells from men’s testicles into powerful stem cells, which they then coaxed into becoming nerve, heart and bone cells.
Their work has not been assessed by standard peer-review processes, but was presented at a meeting of stem cell researchers in Valencia, Spain. If other researchers can duplicate their efforts, the study offers a possible new source of valuable stem cells.
The researchers, at Irvine, California-based PrimeGen Biotech LLC, worked with immature cells found in testes and ovaries known as germ cells. Scientists have hoped to use germ cells as a source of tissues for transplant and other medical uses.
Maybe they just take a small tissue sample. Still, it involves a needle to the “boys”, right?

UPDATE: Okay, this post went to Hell in a handbasket in a big hurry. I went back to Dailey’s blog and read the comments: “There are pills on the market that are loaded with the extracts of kiwi and celery that are supposed to help [with the taste].” Things you didn’t know.

Juvenile humor alert: the cells can be turned into bones.

Presumably they could be turned into stomachs too, thereby obviating the need for the discussion later on in the post.
I mean, seriously: If one swallows enough semen that one sits and worries about it, perhaps one should stop.
