A Chinese scientist, Dr. Rongxiang Xu, claims to have discovered “human body regenerative restoration science'' and has filed a suit in Orange County, California, seeking credit for the research that led to the work of Sir John B. Gurdon (England) and Shinya Yamanaka (Japan) for their discovery that "mature, specialised cells can be reprogrammed to become immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body."
“The work of Gurdon and Yamanaka led to a practical medical use for stem cell research that sidesteps the main argument by anti-abortion opponents” a feat pretty much ignored by our President who in 2009 reinstated embryonic stem cell research paid for by government funding (it was never illegal or restricted).
