British Scientists Develop "Natural" Breast Implants
British women may be offered a “natural” form of breast enlargement that uses stem cells and fat from a woman's own body, under plans being considered by doctors.
The technique, pioneered in Japan, results in breasts that look and feel smoother than conventional cosmetic surgery using implants. This is because the stem cells enable the fat to grow its own blood supply, thus becoming an integral part of the breast rather than a foreign lump.
Stem cells have the potential to change into any cells in the body. They are found in most tissues, especially fat.
Dozens of women in Japan have received the breast enlargements during trials. Last week German medical authorities gave approval to the process. Under Brussels rules, this means that the procedure is now legal throughout the European Union, including Britain.
Doctors here said last week they found the technique “appealing”. The technique’s long-term effectiveness without side — effects still needs further tests, but doctors are already enthusiastic.
“I’m newly convinced,” said Venkat Ramakrishnan, a specialist in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust. “A lot more people have to use it and prove it, but it does seem to have something to it.”

Okay. So... if I'm chunky, I'm stem cell repository now?
Okay, we hate to ask, but... over the roll or under the roll?
Why ask if you hate to ask in the first place? What kind of question is this anyway?
I worry more about not having any toilet paper at all.
New booty from the bookstore me hearties:
I've been reading all Sandman, which is extreme fiction, for the past two weeks so I thought some non-fiction would make a nice contrast.
I'm still reading the seventh volume, Brief Lives, but I've also started on Fast Food Nation, which is proving to be an interesting read. I also hope it would forever make me stop eating those McDonald's fries.
There's nothing like knowing what the ingredients are to make me stop eating something...
Yeah, right.
Both books brought to you today by the letter F.
This picture freaks me out, but I can't stop looking at it in this Tragic Accident sort of way.
It makes me think of a fat six year-old in a rabbit suit.
Thanks for the picture Lynn. I think I'll have bunny nightmares tonight.
Seriously, though, it's freaky in a funny way.
I don't think I've ever heard anything so badly sung.

What a shame I can't save it on mp3. Then again, I don't think I want to.
Show us your lucky number.
It's almost 4am and I found this: The Original I Love You Image Generator.
And I made myself this:
I am so bored.
I made that over at the Web 2.0 Logo Creator. I got bored. Not that bad-looking, though.
I wonder what Web 3.0 looks like and when it'll arrive.
