We are a robotics group and we are doing a presentation on biomedical 
engineering, and our subject is retinal damage.  We are doing a skit for our 
presentation, and it must require a new, creative solution to our subject. We 
wanted a solution that would be original, and we thought it would be 
successful to repair the optic nerve and retina with adult stem cells and that 
it would get us a great score!  It would be a good alternative to using 
embreonic stem cells so no potential humans die in the process.  We also 
though it would be a realistic possibility based off of recent biomedical 
research.
