Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

wiki? well we can change that. !!

q. I agree - someone is probably cloning a human right now, in Guatamala or somewhere.
Also, I am hesitant to trust Wikisometimesright. Always double check when using wiki as a source.

Woody Allen says, "never clone alone"!

As interesting as it is, don't get too excited, guys. Any progress from that direction will probably not be in our lifetime.
I have been hearing GREAT THINGS about type 1 dabetes for the past 38 years. Still waiting...
