It is possible that the health care debate raging in this country is simply an extended political snipe hunt that is missing the point entirely. As both sides argue over the relative merits of financing ever-spiralling costs through one method or another the fact is that medical researchers are on the verge of developing technologies that will potentially reduce the cost of many expensive procedures to the point where they may well end up costing not much more than what we spend on co-pays today. Think of the advantages which stem cell research will bring once it is fully developed. Rather than spend a lifetime in darkness the blind may one day be healed with a simple injection into their eyes or replacement of a defective eye with a healthy one grown in a laboratory. Whatever the medical costs might be they will be dwarfed by what it currently costs society to care for such unfortunate individuals.The paralysed may walk again after an injection of replacement spinal fluid. The mangled hand may simply be ordered to grow new fingers. Teeth may be instructed to fill in cavities and add a new layer of pearly whiteness. Smokers may breathe freely again after spritzing from a stem cell-packed inhaler. Even such vanities as trying out a new hair colour or seeing if you look better with blue eyes might be accomplished with ease.DNA-modified stem cells could conceivably be used to eradicate most human afflictions and genetic disorders. Death might become something that occurs only through accident or malice. Immortality beckons to the human race if only we do not quit on medical experimentation in favour of a tight-fisted accounting of every penny spent on current methodology. Support your local medical researcher because the life you extend may well be your own.
