France delivers another health care advance

Ooohhhh, scary!
It is once again clear that we would never want anything that comes from a socialist health care system.
Obviously the system does not promote innovation as the teabaggers love to tell us.
Whatever we do, we do not want this kind of system.
French scientists have found a way to create human skin rapidly from stem cells, a discovery that could save the lives of many burns victims who are vulnerable to infection and now wait weeks for a skin graft.

The scientists made the breakthrough by creating a patch of human skin on a mouse's back using stem cells -- cells which have the ability to develop into any human cell.

Skin grafts have traditionally been created from cell cultures taken from the patient -- a process that takes three weeks, too long for some patients suffering extensive burns.
