The Skin Gun

Well, I came across this while browsing the TF2 Steam forums, and I thought it was pretty remarkable.
Yes, what we have here may be a real-life medigun. It's truly amazing seeing the wonders of medical science.

Thats pretty amazing, you could walk past him and not even realise that, at some point, he had been badly burnt.
Chyros 04 Feb 2011
That's absolutely astonishing. It shows just what we can do with the help of stem cells .
deltaepsilon 04 Feb 2011
I know, right? And its applications are certainly not limited to skin
Chyros 04 Feb 2011
No indeed, though skin of course offers the best view of how seamless the results are, and skin seems like one of the hardest things to replace. Imagine what other things they can do with this technology....

I'm impressed. Definitely a leap up from current skin treatment. Let's see it applied fully.
Ahem, stem cell research is morally wrong and thus this idea is morally wrong on all levels. Simple as that.

Now this is impressive. There are probably many more applications than healing burns. For example, making ugly scars disappear, 'heal' psoriasis, etc.
Oh, and of course, this is incredibly morally wrong

Those who oppose stem cell research are either idiots or religious fundamentalists imho.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing . 4 days and its almost good as it was before.

To be fair, almost all of the opposition is to embryonic stem cells not to adult stems cells (like this, and the majority of all stem cell research). It's just the negative things get all the publicity.

It should be noted that in the video the guy states the stem cells were taken from him.

I saw this the other day and thought it was amazing. I really hope this tech becomes widely used as fast as possible.

"Stem the hide" more like .

I would prefer if they'd shown a vid of the spray being applied, until then, I can't be sure it works.

WHAT I MEANT was that some guy talking about how he USED to be burned, and some doctor pointing at this fancy thing and saying it heals stuff ISN'T VERY MUCH PROOF THAT IT WORKS.
Anyone can make a hoax vid about a miraclecure. And no, I'm not saying "It looks like a hoax, I can tell from the lack of evidence and having seen quite a few hoaxvids in my time" All I'm saying is that I'd like little more evidence before I treat it like the second coming of Christ.

haters goan hate
The only thing they say in the vid is that it's an EXPERIMENTAL thing that happens to have worked very well so far. It does NOT claim to be the second coming of Christ (which personally I'd find considerably less interesting to begin with but whatever ) .

That's incredible, If this treatment can be available to all it will likely mean the end of highly disfiguring burns.

Now if they can only make a gun that promote brain and IQ growth
