RETRACTION
It would appear that our SCI-Fi to SCI-FACT limb-growing pixie dust story from last week’s show ended up being more sci-fi than sci-fact.
Since last week the BBC has backtracked on its original story admitting to being duped. Slice of SciFi is in good company having been duped as well along with Fox News, the AP and just about every other legitimate news agency across the planet. However, the part of the story about growing organs, such as bladders, in the lab is true and currently being done by researchers in various labs across the world, including Purdue University. The techniques being employed have nothing to do with pixie dust but do use DNA cloning as the mechanism behind the organ re-production.
D’oh!
Hey, I have been practicing medicine since 1972 and with all the advancements I have seen and used in my own practice over the last 36 years, pixie dust isn’t that much of a stretch to believe.
some day will have it
