Spinal Cord Factory opens in South Korea
Seoul, South Korea (UP) -- The war over Stem Cell Research has taken a different turn today as the world's first Stem Cell Generation factory has opened in Seoul, South Korea. The website of the World Stem Cell Hub founded by Stem Cell Research pioneer Hwang Woo-Suk has been overwhelmed with traffic following the announcement.
At the outset of the project, it is expected that the "Factory" will begin producing Spinal Cords of various sizes and proportions to assist with Alzheimers cases around the world. It is expected that the factory can produce as many as 1300 spinal cord units in one month which will eventually be broadened to approximately 13,000 spinal cord units with the advancement of the technology that they use to mass produce these parts.
Although the factory will focus primarily on Spinal Cord units, the factory will shortly be upgrading its line to produce brains, bones, skin, various organs and even blood.
Critics of Stem Cell research have raised concerns over the opening of the Spinal Cord Factory indicating that the possibility exists for this factory to become much more than just a body part manufacturing facility. “The potential exists for this location to be a cloning facility. This is exactly what we feared from the beginning” mentioned Hyuk Nyuk Phong of the Organization for Protection Against Clones, or OPAC. “Government could begin using this technology to create soldiers which would be biologically flawless” she added. Upon hearing this response, the new Canadian Governer General, Michaelle Jean, replied, "I would actually start by cloning a less-flawed husband..."
Regardless of the controversy involved, nobody can argue with the fact that the Spinal Cord Factory is well on its way to cloning its own success. Orders for new body parts have already exceeded production capacity for the new Factory. “Backorders for Spinal Column Units have already reached an 18 month waiting period” mentioned Hwang Woo-suk. "...and don't even ask about other bits..."
