Re: Embryonic stem cells make cancer-fighting cells

What a great article, C1ay!
So the stem cells were used to treat and fight cancer, right? And last week, nemo was telling me about a vaccine for cervical cancer. This is just really cool.
I guess my only questions are about cancer. How many different varieties are there, and what makes them so different? How can a vaccine be developed for one type of cancer, but it doesn't work on others?

This is very groundbreaking stuff though. If they can create a vaccine to prevent cancers, and a process to treat and fight cancers, then it may be possible to eradicate cancers in the future, right? Or is that really taking the Sally-Sunshine approach?
