Advantages of using cord blood stem cells to fight disease...

With the hoopla over the Michael J. Fox ads, Rush Limbaugh's uncanny ability to simultaneously fit prescription drugs, cigars, viagra and his foot in his mouth simultaneously, and the rapidly approaching November elections, the topic of stem cell research is getting a great deal of additional attention these days.

I found this at the Cord Blood Registry Report. With all of the talk about these issues, it does make sense to define terms carefully. This post talks about the difference between embryonic stem cells and those culled from umbilical cord blood. It has an unabashedly pro-umbilical cord blood banking spin, but it is worth reading if you are still sorting things out with respect to the terminology used in the ongoing debate.

Give it a read. You can find it right here.
