In the July 2005 National Geographic, the main feature covers stem cell research. (link to online excerpt) On page 4 of the print edition (so you’ll have to go to the library or the doctor) is a poignant photograph of 11-year-old David Dalmat, who is banished to a sterile “bubble” until his bone marrow regrows. In his hands, a Playstation 2 controller.
