I really hate videos like that, they are factually incorrect and don't tell us anything new. We have known for ages that you can transplant islets but the problem is they die out when the immune system kicks in. There are nasty drugs that suppress your immune system but they have side effects and it’s not a very healthy thing to do.

ya i heard about that and i think it would be cool but it could take a long time for it to be developed and even if it was perfected it might be to expensive for most people to pay for.
