Photograph: CMR Unimor Hannah Devlin Science correspondent Wednesday 8 November 2017 18.00 GMT Last modified on Thursday 9 November 2017 01.00 GMT Scientists have grown a replacement, genetically modified skin to cover almost the entire body of a seven-year-old Syrian boy who was suffering from a devastating genetic disorder. The treatment marks a rare and striking success for the field of regenerative medicine, which has been struggling to transform futuristic-sounding science into therapies that make a difference to patients. In the latest trial, the life of the young boy – whose illness had come close to killing him – was transformed.

FCUK ME!!!! Now, that, coupled with this: https://www.democracynow.org/2017/1...a_planned_to_stage_bombings_then_blame_castro = THE DEFINITION OF A SOCIOPATH!!! In this case, it's the whole organisation (or plural) by its (their) "inner logic" (of humongous power exercised from an adversarial position), clearly having umpteen employees who are 100% (or so) OK with all that... We need many more Snowdens guys... or else...

@R29k: Good article. Psych drug misuse / abuse is terrible. Some patients crush them up and smoke them, or sell them to buy other drugs.
