    The Cosmetics Industry is a multi-billion-dollar market

    Whether this stem cell approach works or not, the industry and its profit motives are not gonna change.

    And if it does work, and breast cancer survivors (Christina Applegate, anyone?) wish to use it to regain natural-looking breasts, then who the hell are we to say no?

    Perhaps the proecedures may even shine new light on challenges / benefits that will face future stem cell applications.

    I vote for Hooray.
