There's a lot of new things in the pipeline. Like always, it's a matter of when.

Brain Cells From Urine
In a sentence we won’t get to use often, researchers have turned pee into human brain cells. At the Guangzhou Institute of Biomedicine and Health in China, biologists have taken waste cells from urine and modified them with the use of retroviruses to create progenitor cells, which the body uses as the building blocks for brain cells. The most valuable benefit to this method is that the new neurons created haven’t caused tumors in any of the mice used for testing.

Maybe this is the answer, for parents who feel their children are pissing away their education.
