I remember reading about a similar item a few months back in “Women’s eJournal” about the potential use of embryonic stem cells from baby teeth. The article discussed how to preserve the baby teeth when they are lost and indicated a huge potential for use in later life if the person needed the cells. It sounds like teeth of some type may be the answer for a great scientific use and avoidance of the moral problem some people have regarding stem cells.

I remember hearing about it a while back, too. I agree with you that it sounds more promising than ever.

I heard about this about a year ago, but it seems like in the near future stem cells from wisdom teeth might become a real reality, I hope so.
