I can’t imagine broadsheet missing the point more if they tried. This is an immeasurably good thing for stem cell research. One simple word: familiarity.
When the vast majority of people hear stem cells they think “made from aborted babies”. With the advent of using stem cells to enlarge breasts, stem cells go from horrible to no big deal (no pun intended).
This is exactly the brilliant strategy used by the gay community. Get people used to it in small steps. Small, inoffensive steps that can lead to more.
Some day, people, even religious people, will have stem cell treatment available to them. Available to cure diseases, to regenerate tissues, to save and improve lives.
And we will have breast augmentation to thank for that.
Stay away from broadsheet girls when this happens. Their heads might explode.
