Reanimator

The revolution is near. Stem cells created from skin cells, thus eliminating the rejection problem when building new hearts, eyes or any other organ that a person may need could change how man deals with disease and aging let alone killing off any political claptrap relating to the ethics of converting Joe's elbow tissue into a kidney that he needs in order to stay alive.

The question now arises as to whether investors can take the long view in buying into this technique as the guesstimate as to when this becomes reality is about 10 years, something that may be unrealistic given that tech accelerates at double exponential rates thanks to the net and the transparency of information transfer.
