I looked at the article on the back of book in the mirror, and I was able to make out the word "stem cells" "july 12th" and "Washington D.C." in the article. Also, the title is something like Congolry Yllid to Ytems or something like that. Couldn't memorize it. Anyway, I don't think the back is important.

Good work on "stem cells".
I think it is "corgraly uning clontoyto yillb yterm cees."
And you never know what could be important. There's another thread somewhere where there is a discussion about those words...
Edited for grammar.

Eee. Sorry.
I was thinking Corgraly Uning Clontoy to Yillb Yterm Cees is a code. I think "to" is seperate. So how many 2-letter words are there in the English language? of as, is, on, at...a lot more. Or maybe it's gibberish.

What are Stem Cells? Taken from human embryos only days old, stem cells are nature's blank slates, capable of developing into any of nearly 220 cell types that make up the human body. Scientists believe they will lead to cures for diseases once thought untreatable.
The great controversy over stem cells is that they come from human embryos. And how and where would you get your hands on some? Most come from fertility clinics after patients decide they do not need embryos that have been previously stored. Some may be recovered from an aborted fetus. This leads the discussion into the very hotly debated abortion issue.
When does an embryo become a human being?
Should we allow people to create embryos for the sole purposes of generating stem cells?
I do not intend to address these issues here. I only wanted to give you an idea of what stem cells are and why they were in the news.
