A Medical Breakthrough - Jonathan Meer - 12-15-2010
It appears that medical practice has cured the first human of HIV.
Cured.

It was a blood transplant between a dude with HIV and the donor, who had a natural resistance to HIV, or something, in Berlin.

Thats awesome!

I love stem cells.

What ever will the internet users do if AIDS effectively gets removed? "Get aids and possibly die!"? :O

First, yay for stem cells. Good on you, Germany.
Second, boo U.S. This should've been us, earlier, were it not for jackasses trying to turn back the clock of progress.

pretty sure there's a super poison cocktail that "cures" aids. it's retardedly expensive, uncomfortably high chance of death, and not guaranteed to work, but it's been around for a while.

This is why I hope the motion to have generic nonscientifically educated citizens (to include myself) deciding what scientific projects deserve funding through internet polling fails. I really do. It makes as much sense as asking me to decide what car parts should and should not be included in an automobile for me to get the price down to the $1,000 I'd want to pay. I might end up removing an engine and wouldn't know it because I don't know shit about cars and what the ripple effects of said parts are.

It wasn't a wholesale ban on stem cell research. And this case was a transplant from one adult to another. Where are you guys getting lost at?
I'll see your misplaced frusteration of "generic nonscientifically educated citizens" on internet polls and raise you a straight ban against allowing misinformed people to vote at all. :|

This is why I maintain that a monarchy would solve so many things...
I vote Ashe for King and his wife Queen.
A Medical Breakthrough - Pinky - 12-20-2010
leading researchers disbelieve he was actually cured, since the strain of HIV he had could bypass the mutation defense from the stem cell donor, and is merely lacking signs of a relapse for reasons yet unknown.

Considering HIV is also located in spinal fluid and your bone marrow it's difficult to get rid of. I mean it may have temporarily eliminated the effect on his immune system which is the biggest concern, but considering the fragile nature of your spine and everything related I doubt we're ready to tackle that area. Not until we can repair victims of a severed spinal cord.
A Medical Breakthrough - Milk Bubble - 12-20-2010
I watched an episode of Law and Order where this gay guy had AIDs and was ashamed, so he asked his other gay friend to kill him because he couldn't do it. The same guy had done the same thing to 2 other gay guys dying of AIDs. They let the guy off with no charges because he was also dying of AIDs.

.. they should have stayed out of the pool.
