Robert Lanza lives on an island with a dinosaur collection He talks about the company ACT (Advanced Cell Technology) in using stem stem cells without destroying the embryo to make blood for human use. His interterests before where cloning endangerd species and believes in human organ cloning. Robert Lanza MD website: http://www.robertlanza.com (is already conduction two trials for blindness with stem cells, made contact with Barack Obama and Bill Gates and is expanding to multiple sites in Europe in 2012) This is going to be the man of the next decade as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates where for the computer age.
