Stem cells researches & 'Cinderella Man' movie

We watched in awe a PBS Innovation segment about stem cell researches and experiments to re-grow human organ cells. Both embryonic and adult stem cells - from nose, bone marrow - were employed with good results to repair damaged heart muscles, the immune system and spinal cord injuries. [The horrific stories of spinal cord injuries/accidents were also so sad]. I am sure that more researches, studies will have to be carried out before this modality of therapy can be used more widely. And if this therapy works, hopefully it will be a tremendous medical breakthrough. 

We also enjoyed 'Cinderella Man'. Russell Crowe and Renee Zellweger's performance was terrific. The story of Jimmy Braddock, the Depression-period common-man hero boxer is beautifully told. The little scene of Braddock telling his hungry son not to steal was touching. This uplifting story of family, love, poverty, integrity and courage is worth seeing.
