[quote=ScienceDaily]Globs of human fat removed during liposuction conceal versatile cells that are more quickly and easily coaxed to become induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, than are the skin cells most often used by researchers, according to a new study from Stanford's School of Medicine.[/quote] [url]http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/09/090907162316.htm[/url]
I'm a walking stem cell machine :)
Haha, awesome.
So all we have to do is harvest fat people to save humanity?
leave it to us Americans to save the rest of you skinny bastards. now if you excuse me I have a McDonald's to visit.
[QUOTE=Wayword;17196915]So all we have to do is harvest fat people to save humanity?[/QUOTE] Isn't that contradicting the point of saving people? You could just kidnap them and suck the fat out.
[QUOTE=Comtochus;17197087]Isn't that contradicting the point of saving people? You could just kidnap them and suck the fat out.[/QUOTE] Yeah but.. less fat people..
I'm not promoting the kidnapping and farming of fat people... ...but there's no real proof they have souls. I know I don't have one.
What about a pill that turns your fat into life saving stem cells while shedding pounds?
I bet America will be PAYING fat-asses to get liposuction now. :v:
[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;17196929]leave it to us Americans to save the rest of you skinny bastards. now if you excuse me I have a McDonald's to visit.[/QUOTE] You know that, there's healthy fat, and unhealthy fat like the one you gain after eating McShitonalds
lol fight club
Awesome. So now the US's greed for longer life will result in a nation devoid of both fat people and cancer. Kickin'.
@Karskin How do you use them? They need to be gathered, or manipulated through some other way.
[QUOTE=Xmeagol;17197489]You know that, there's healthy fat, and unhealthy fat like the one you gain after eating McShitonalds[/QUOTE] They both result in life saving blubber though(oh God the thought). But yeah, Micky Dee's is pretty fucked up.
Take that Europe!

[QUOTE=RichardNixon;17197526]Take that Europe![/QUOTE] Just wait till' terrorists kidnap your fat people. [editline]06:49PM[/editline] Then the middle east'll be superior. [editline]06:49PM[/editline] Wait, [i]Shit.[/i]
Hopefully someone will pay the people for liposuction one day
[QUOTE=RichardNixon;17197526]Take that Europe![/QUOTE] Oh no i have been shown who is the boss.
Don't do it guys. We want Episode 3. Don't!
[quote=another article]Yes, when we expend more energy (exercise) or reduce the amount of food we ingest (diet), or both, our body draws on our extra stores of energy in our adipose tissue – this process gradually reduces the size of the individual fat cells. That is, fat loss occurs due to a reduction in size of fat cells, not a reduction in the number of fat cells. Not surprisingly, your pants start fitting better. Also, this process makes fat cells more efficient at sucking up excess calories the next time we again eat more than we expend – think Thanksgiving weekend. This is completely different from the scenario of liposuction, where a whole bunch of fat cells are removed from the body – that is, you reduce the number of fat cells, but the remaining ones don’t get any smaller or healthier – in fact, the opposite may be true (less place to store excess calories than before surgery, so enlargement of those fat cells left behind).[/quote] So technically if we start harvesting fatties they'll turn even fatter. [editline]as[/editline] also, gabe.
Thats all well and good they ain't going to use them.

Only in the USA.
I feel good about that burger I ate last night! AMERICA!!!
I'm skinny. :frown: But at least I won't be harvested for my fat.
So, Mandatory Liposuction would not only give us more Stem Cells then we'll ever need ever, but also skinny people? Awesome!
