More
exciting news in adult stem cell research (i.e. non-embryonic).
A new
study shows adult stem cells from umbilical cord blood can
successfully treat children with type 1 diabetes. Studies like this
are continually showing how unethical research that destroys innocent human
embryos is unnecessary.
Additionally,
two Congressmen have introduced legislation to support ethical
forms of stem cell research. “The Patients First Act” (H.R. 2807) proposed by Rep. Randy Forbes
(R-VA) and Rep. Dan Lipinski (D-IL) Would prioritize support for such exciting
avenues of research as amniotic fluid cells and turning ordinary skins cells
into stem cells without creating or harming an embryo.
