Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I just wish they would also release adult stem cell research... this is what this article is about... embryonic is too unstable & dangerous ...and most parents have their children's cord blood stored and a little lipo can get the fat to get the stem cells needed without having to wait so long for their research to really work without dangers to the patients... last month a boy developed tumor from embryonic stem cells and dying!!! And placentas from all children born every day are plenty enough to work with in case of donors!!! http://www.usnews.com/blogs/heart-to-heart/2009/3/4/why-embryonic-stem-cells-are\ -obsolete.html?s_cid=rss:heart-to-heart:why-embryonic-stem-cell Love, Gabby. :0) http://stemcellforautism.blogspot.com/ " I know of nobody who is purely Autistic or purely neurotypical.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I do not know very much at all about stem cell research but I do know that in some donor cases the hospital use to ask that the donor and recipient be retested in 6 months for hiv. There is also controversy about medical history in the case of adoption and reproductive medicine. There have been a lot of legal issues around stem cells. I would do just about anything to get rid of the diabetes but it has to be safe. I have known several recipients of organ donors and I am scared to death. I also only know half of the medical history when it comes to our family medical history. I really need to look into stem cell research. I now have an incentive to do that. Charlotte- insulin is not a cure and the hope is that a vaccine will be developed through the advancement of stem cell research to prevent diabetes type 1 before a child develops it **************Need a job?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I forgot to tell you that we looked into saving cord blood before we had the kids but found the costs were so astronomical that we just could not afford to do it. I think it was a couple thousand dollars and they included a couple years storage in a chyro lab and after that you had to pay additional fees. Our ob- gyn said that it would only help with leukemia. I do not know if I got the right info from him or not. Charlotte **************Need a job? Find employment help in your area.
