with out getting into all the scientific jargon, basically the vast majority of the cells in your body do not multiply. Cancer cells have found a way around this. In order to grow "stem cells" in vitro (in a test tube or culture plate) or in vivo (in the organism), scientists have had to give them certain growth properties similar to cancer cells so that they can evade the normal anti-growth signals that the majority of cells are exposed to.
So far those growth properties or growth signals have resulted in these stem cells becoming cancer cells. It is a huge obstacle to over come, and every scientific meeting I've been to has yet to reveal a good way to over come this, expecially in vivo. There are some things that can be done in vitro, but those things would never be allowed in people
i guess you could say im a skeptic; my point of view has nothing to do with morals, ethics or religion. It is based on 15+ years as a cancer biologist, and a well published one at that
