stem cell research is the science of the future; it will cure many ailments and diseases.
Already, they grow stem cells from your own cells that are healthy to help fight off diseases and some are used in surgery rather than replacing joints with stainless steel parts.

Great news. TY for the info

Rescued for what? Where will they do that simple task called living? The large species, especially predators, are all hanging perilously close to extinction due to over-population of: Homo SAPiens.

Good to see stem cell research going to animals instead of the humans who destroy them.

Scientists rely too much on stem cells; KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) don't destroy animals and their environment in the first place - but this would not assure a guaranteed income....

Anja....it's all well and good to say "don't destroy animals and their environment in the first place" but keep in mind that we're going to lose drills in the wild because loggers cut trees and hunters with automatic weapons use the logging roads to slaughter drills for "bush meat."

Drills live in Cameroon and Nigeria...two poor countries. Poor people there make money by utilizing the resources their countries provide.

Look what WE have done to our nation.....do we have the "right" to tell Nigeria and Cameroon how to run their lives?

OF COURSE I DO NOT AGREE WITH SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS. However, until someone can think of a way to provide poor Africans with a living wage....we'd better make sure we have a way to preserve a good genetic pool of animals so that they might possibly be sent back to the wild in some future.

Without the efforts of those scientists, combined with captive breeding programs by accredited zoos, Species Survival Plans and local educators in these countries....thousands of species will be lost, including rhinos and drills.

The only reason I support stem cell research is for this not for human species to benefit from it. What is the point of saving human lives when they are not even endangered?? In fact, the single species that is a danger to all other species is the human species!

Stem cells could save endangered species.

Here's hoping they can pull this by-pass of extinction off... Next, we should see if we have enough recoverable DNA to restore the thylocine (Tasmanian tiger) and passenger pigeon?

Suzane thank you for this facinating news. I agree with pam w. ... good comments !

Wow. Interesting. Hopefully this will help these amazing creatures survive and flourish.

Where do people think that they get the Stem Cells? from other animals that they (scientists) kill!!!

To all you scientists you are NOT GOD this will NOT WORK!!!

So, Ruth...are you saying you'd refuse to save yourself or your child by using any stem cell-based technology?

Wednesday September 7, 2011, 3:14 am
Thank you. I hope it works!

Friday September 16, 2011, 7:18 am
Interesting! Wonder whether it would work. It sure would be exciting if it did. However, there may be better ways to prevent extinction, like taking better care of our planet.

Keep up the good work and save these animals. They deserve to be protected.

Saturday October 1, 2011, 2:36 pm
We need to save these animals but with stem cell, what happens. Will they be forever in captivity and display? That is no life for these animals. We need less humans on this earth and more animals and the humans left on this earth to learn to respect and nurish the animals. Not to eat them, use them for entertainment or research.
