Stem Cells: The Promise | documentary available to buy on DVD

Stem Cells: The Promise - David Paterson

"Stem Cells: The Promise" consists of two documentaries which show how medical research has developed an understanding of our bodies so advanced that it can already bring us substantially healthier and longer lives. Stem Cell medicine will change our lives as individuals, it will change society, it will change the world. Society had better be prepared for a world where people in the West can expect to live active healthy lives of 120 years and more. Stem Cell technology is "regenerative" medicine. It can reverse the effects of stroke, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's and is able to restore mobility. It can even make cancer cells self destruct and rejuvenate old tissues and organs. An end to cancer and the prospect of something approaching immortality lies imminently before us. How does this technology work, what can it already do and what will its imminent advance mean for us all ? Please note that this DVD is in PAL format and therefore may not play on all US DVD players.
