OH MY!

That’s it, End of story. The battle to keep scientists from conducting freaky experiments with stem cells is over. They have won the war with this latest announcement. All they have left to do in order to seal the deal is show how stem cells can be used for penis enhancement.

Stem-cell enhanced boobies could be real trouble though. Does anyone else here remember that old Woody Allen move “Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask”? If you do, do you remember the first part where the mad scientist (played brilliantly by John Carradine) was performing a mutant breast-enhancement technique on his female lab assistant and the enhancer machine went wild and the breasts swelled up to the size of two Volkswagons and they ripped themselves off her body, escaped from the lab and went on a monster rampage through the countryside, killing people by squashing them to death until finally captured by Woody Allen with the aid of .... never mind, you’ll just have to go rent the DVD.

Stem Cells Used To Boost Breasts
(BBC) - Monday, 12 February 2007, 17:35 GMT

imageimageScientists in Japan claim to be able to increase the size of a woman’s breasts using fat and stem cells. The technique uses fat from the stomach or thigh which is then enriched with stem cells before being injected.

It is hoped the method could prove a more natural-looking alternative to artificial implants filled with salt water or silicone. But plastic surgeons working in Britain have greeted news of the technique with “extreme caution.”

Kotaro Yoshimura, a surgeon at the Tokyo University medical school, said more than 40 patients had been treated. Mr Yoshimura said he believed the stem cell and fat combination, which can increase a woman’s cupsize by two sizes, was a success.

“There have been no serious complications,” he said. During the operation, surgeons suck fat cells from the stomach or thigh, and this “slurry” is enriched so that there are higher numbers than usual of stem cells.

These are “master” cells which are capable of making new fat cells. When the enriched stem cell mixture is combined with normal fat tissue, it can then be injected into the breast area. The treatment aims to offer a softer more natural look than traditional silicone implants.

Mr Yoshimura said the he believed combining stem cells with fat gave an improved result. He said breast enlargement using fat and stem cells did not create a lumpy effect. Lots of small particles were added rather than “one big lump”.

Cellport Clinic Yokohama in Japan are currently the only ones to provide the treatment. The clinic website claims: “The enhanced breasts are soft and natural, so they are the patient’s “real” breasts.” Consultant Norman Waterhouse said he had concerns about such a procedure.

He said: “It would be incorrect to suggest that a breast implant equivalent could grow from stem cells alone, and fat transfer, which is not a new procedure, can still lead to complications and give a lumpy effect.”

“This appears to be a rather optimistic view of what is yet a theoretical approach.” Consultant Rajiv Grover added: “We greet this news with extreme caution.” However, Adam Searle, past president of British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said the development should not be dismissed.

“There is exciting potential but no reality in practical terms at the moment. “The stem cell ‘soup’ is too non-specific to really focus on what you want.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
