This doesn't by any means eliminate all ethical objections but it is a good start! Can you say "organ farms", anyone??? ;-) Actually, this eliminates the objection to using fetal cells and if the skin/epithelial/whatever cells that are being reprogrammed are taken from the same host they are injected into, it will prolly avoid the rejection problem as well.

Any survival rate is better than Zero, and means there's potential for 99.9% to be developed at some point in the future, if enough money is thrown at the problem. Seconded.
