Dr. Dennis Smith did well explaining a complex area of science regarding Stem Cell Research. His presentation was orderly and well delivered with the aid of Power Point slides. He detailed what stem cells are as well as their function of replacing cells in the body every moment of our lives. He went on to show how they can differentiate into other cells and the future practical uses of this process in healing.
Smith agrees with the FDA go-slow policy in their trials with humans. Some doctors have already treated patients with stem cells but the results are inconclusive at best. Since stem cells and cancer cells have a commonality in rapid replication, it would be wise to wait until the science progresses further before risking wide scale human applications.
We enjoyed a very large attendance for this program and all who attended went away much better informed on the topic.
