Now that we all know that women menstruate stem cells scientists have moved on it seems. A team of scientists in Germany have discovered that testicles also have stem cells. At least that is true for mice, but they do think that human testicles will also hold stem cells.
Now we have so many ways to get “ethical” stem cells.
The president of Oglala Lakhota native reserve in South Dakota is looking to have abortion clinics on their sovereign land. South Dakota recently passed a bill that makes abortion illegal, even if it is wanted after a “simple rape.” The law makers were mostly males, and they decided that women can’t make their own decisions about what they can (and can’t) do to their bodies.
“The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Cecilia Fire Thunder, was incensed. A former nurse and healthcare giver she was very angry that a state body made up mostly of white males, would make such a stupid law against women”
And for a little direct action, I encourage all females to call Senator Bill Napoli at work at 605-348-7373 for help making decisions since he thinks women can’t think. So if you don’t know if you should watch Brokeback Mountain or V is for Vendetta give him a ring!

“Every time a person is forced to repress his true feelings there are negative consequences for his health,” said Professor Dieter Zapf, a researcher into human emotions.
Psychologists at Frankfurt University have done some research and discovered that the more true emotions you show the longer your life should be. The key to success is to show your real emotion, faking it causes more stress and a quicker trip to the grave.
Be true to yourself.
Capsaicin is the active ingredient in hot peppers and a recent study has shown that capsaicin causes prostate cancer to die off. In fact, capsaicin tricks the prostate cancer cells into killing themselves.
It’s good to eat spicy!
Scientists at the Massachusets Institute of Technology were able to restore sight to rodents blinded by brain damage. They grew brain cells on a nano-scale artificial scaffolding, which later dissolves away.
It is hoped that this technology can one day be developed enough to treat human patients who have suffered vision loss due to stroke, spinal cord injuries or other nervous ailments.
