Colon, stem cells, and their future

[seitas]

In 20 years or so... when 95% of all people over 30 years of age are on some sort of HGH/stem cell regiment/therapy/pill, we will look back on this and laugh. To compare steroids and HGH is just silly they are not the same animal. Just my prediction/two cents or what have you.

Comparing corticosteroids to anabolic steroids is a bit silly too.

I believe in this stem cell research 100%. My wife is on the medical review board of a heart transplant team who is working with many mediums, including placing the first totally artificial hearts. Stem cell trials, while not advertised, are seeing positive growth (no pun) in some heart failure patients, especially those with viral cardiomyopathy.

They're definitely not the same; I understand that completely. The point is that it's not natural and without it Schilling couldn't have pitched. It's a performance enhancer for sure, yet Schilling has been one of the most vocal opponents of PED's. I was backing my point of being tired of arbitrary enforcement of morality.
I'm also for stem cell research and recently banked my newborns cord blood because I strongly believe that these cells will have a significant impact on the future of medicine.

They are very good when taken together though. HGH counteracts many negative aspects of Steroid use, i.e, HGH helps strengthen tendons and ligaments, which is why you dont see so many guys that juice get those muscle injuries like they did back in the day.
