That's a good thing, because it is simply awesome. I predict within 20 years, we will have (readily used) laboratory-derived skin, heart muscle patches, pancreatic islet cells, menisci.

Don't worry about the Catholic upbringing, it's no longer an issue - there are currently established old cell lines that are embryologically-derived and approved for use, but no new ones, and there will not be; all the hot research is on using one's own stem cells to create what is needed.
