Crikey in a very good way.  No need for anti-rejection drugs?  That's massive.  And so sneaky!
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

own-stem-cell technology is really coming on.

My dad had treatment last year using his own stem cells (for a very nasty bone cancer). After extracting his stem cells, they killed off his bone marrow, and transplanted his own stem cells back in. Spare ones are kept on store for the next treatment.

Why?  Are you casting doubt on my culinary abilities?
