What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

This is really cool, a spray of stem cells can regrow skin on a burn!

I had to have a muscle flap skin graft due to an injury, it would have been nice if they could have repaired it like this!

If stem cell research can do all this, how can anyone object to it?

I totallay agree with you there! I think the stem cells they using are not the one's everybody objects to anyway.

For something like this, I don't see how anyone could object to stem cells. It sure beats scraping the skin off your butt to replace it over the burned area !

Beats me with that one, Wheel! Unless there are differing kinds of stem cells which cause greater fear.

It sure beats scraping the skin off your butt to replace it over the burned area !

Ha ha...well said, Tedd.

I suppose we must be alike, lauhal, because you are not doing too bad yourself holding your own... :o)

I hope I don't come across too 'normal' though, I think we all need a little nuttiness to us to add some balance. I guess I must be a little nutty underneath the 'genteel' facade because I feel quite at home on this thread...ha ha

Great comment, Tedd..:o)
