"If you're still not convinced that stem cells are the future of medicine, try this on for size: Japanese researchers have used them to synthesize a fully functioning organ entirely from scratch."
Can you imagine a world where no one has to wait on a transplant list anymore to receive a new heart or kidney? How many people lose their battles with various diseases WAITING FOR A MATCHED DONOR versus the actual disease itself? If it hasn't become clear and evident yet that we will see stem cell therapies and treatments revolutionize modern medicine then I suggest doing research. Remember, one of the best sources of adult stem cells is from umbilical cord blood collected immediately after delivery. They are a 100% MATCH for that child and the probability of successfully matching with a sibling or other closely related family members is higher than finding a match from a national registry. That is why I banked both our children's umbilical cord blood, a sense of security for their future medical well-being!!!
