Talk:Irving Weissman

Transgenic mice with human brain cells
The article is presently unbalanced, and reads like a bio fromthe scientist or his institution. It should reflect the worldwide press coverage Weissman has received, with considerable controversy, for creating mice with some human brain cells, and for his reported proposal to create mice with 100% human brain cells.See PBS, 2005,  The Guardian, 2005, Business Week, 2006, The Weekly Standard, 2005, San Francisco Chronicle, 2006].

Removed copyright violation
Per Wikipedia's policy against copyright violations, I deleted the section of his research, since I discovered that it was taken word for word from his biography at the Stanford website: http://med.stanford.edu/profiles/Irving_Weissman/. A new section on his research should be created by someone familiar with his research area and its specialized terminology. It could be based on the Stanford bio, but must not be a copy and paste or a close paraphrase. See WP:COPYVIO. Edison (talk) 19:11, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Work on Diabetes
Is this the same gentleman responsible for supposedly inventing a cure for Diabetes, which Pharma companies allegedly shot down because it would deprive them of significant revenue from Insulin sale for the lifetime of a Diabetic patient? I find no mention of this point in the article. Refer to - http://www.onlinecollegesanduniversities.com/pharmaceutical-companies/ 121.242.128.130 (talk) 07:46, 7 September 2011 (UTC)Pushan
