Here are two exciting developments in ethical stem cell research:

  1. LifeNews reports on research indicating that umbilical cord blood that is genetically related to the recipient tends to be more effective in transplant operations.
  2. The Washington Post reports that scientists have cured mice of sickle-cell anemia using a revolutionary new technique that derives pluripotent stem cells (cells which can transform into many tissue types) from ordinary skin cells.  The new method does not require the creation or destruction of human embryos nor the use of human eggs.  As reported earlier, this development will transform the stem cell debate in favor of pro-lifers, and we are excited to see concrete results already coming from this research.
