Discussing and Defying New and Interesting Advancements in Science

Jesus has his work cut out for him: scientists restore eyesight using stem cells

British scientists have restored the eyesight of Russell Turnbull. The 38 year old man was on the way home late at night in 1994 after a night of debauchery in New Castle. An argument became heated on the bus and like most arguments in New Castle one of the angry men began squirting ammonia at people and it happened to hit Mr. Turnbull right in the eye leaving him with a painful and blinding condition known as Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency. Scientists then threw a big middle finger up to fate and transplanted healthy stem cells from his healthy eye into his scarred blind eye. It just goes to show that ammonia fights are only fun until someone loses an eye and that with today’s technology its probably still OK to throw ammonia into the faces of your enemies on buses without doing irreversible damage. I’m filling my super soaker with it right after this.
