quote: A 42-year-old HIV patient with leukemia appears to have no detectable HIV in his blood and no symptoms after a stem cell transplant from a donor carrying a gene mutation that confers natural resistance to the virus that causes AIDS, according to a report published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The patient underwent a stem cell transplant and since, has not tested positive for HIV in his blood.
"The patient is fine," said Dr. Gero Hutter of Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin in Germany. "Today, two years after his transplantation, he is still without any signs of HIV disease and without antiretroviral medication."

We still have a lot of laws and Presidential edicts to "correct" in order for our people who could benefit from stem cell therophy to take advantage of things like this without having to journey to Costa Rica.

sounds good to me I am glad science will be taking its rightful place in our society again Obama still has to clear the way and reverse the edicts of the last backward idiot we had in office I hope that he does not pop up again. Bush reminds me of the bed of a rose garden no matter how much you water or cultivate the manure always rises to the top. It takes along time to get rid of the stink.

I assume you think you could determine that it was or not, but what difference does it make if polio vaccine was or wasn't developed with or without government money.
"Digging deep into reality, even at the most private of medical schools, the majority of the money it takes to train a physician comes from government sources. Higher up the ladder, the percent of the cost of developing specialist is far greater. (Those things are true of non-medical training too, by the way.) So, the notion that there is any non-government sponsored medical research is a bit shakey,

Just wondering if the science was promoted by government or private money.
if you knew how little science comes from fully private sources? you'd be dumbfounded.
in the US government? research that is fruitful is GIVEN to private industry every day. US patents developed by government employees are required to be assigned to private industry BEFORE they even file the patent.
the whole computer industry came about because of the US government.....
this anti-government kick the GOP has embarked on is like a witch-hunt.
might as well cut off your noses.
almost none can claim fully private sources for their new developments.
the fact that that was a German University should clue you in...
