Yes, apparently if you can afford it now, stem cells are ok! But mostly for your baby and wife. You might get a piece of the action. Prolly not.
You gotta believe me! It was on TV!
So I called them up. Yes, they extract blood from the embillical chord of your newborn and save the stem cells through a process of refining. I shit you not. Acorrding(no pun intended) they save them for your child in the case of disease. The mother has a 50% chance of relating to those cells(acording to them. Bullshit?
I thought it didn't matter as to who stem cells came from. I may be wrong. But I don't think I am. If I'm wrong, fuck me, who cares?
But what the fuck?!
Stem cells are ok If you're rich?
Why isn't there a national, or international bank?
Why do Americans think stem cells require killing fetuses?
From Wikipedia: query: "stem cells"
"Blood from the placenta and umbilical cord that are left over after birth is one source of adult stem cells. Since 1988 these cord blood stem cells have been used to treat Gunther's disease, Hunter syndrome, Hurler syndrome, Acute lymphocytic leukaemia and many more problems occurring mostly in children. It is collected by removing the umbilical cord, cleansing it and withdrawing blood from the umbilical vein. This blood is then immediately analyzed for infectious agents and the tissue-type is determined. The cord blood is processed and depleted of red blood cells before being stored in liquid nitrogen for later use, at which point it is thawed, washed of the cryoprotectant, and injected through a vein of the patient. This kind of treatment, where the stem cells are collected from another donor, is called allogeneic treatment. When the cells are collected from the same patient on whom they will be used, it is called autologous and when collected from identical individuals, it is referred to as syngeneic. Xenogeneic transfer of cells (between different species) is very underdeveloped and is said to have little research potential.
Researchers in South Korea announced in November 2004 that they had successfully used multipotent cord blood (adult) stem cell treatments to enable a paralyzed woman to walk with the aid of a walker. This was achieved by isolating the stem cells from the umbilical cord blood and injecting the cells into the damaged part of the woman's spinal cord. Work was done by Chosun University professor Song Chang-hun, Seoul National University professor Kang Kyung-susn, and the Seoul Cord Blood Bank.[5] [6] [7] [8] While exciting, many more studies are required to establish that such treatments are effective."
You can store these with a kit, provided by these people. I have nothing NOTHING NOTHING against this. But it's for a price. Where the fuck is our government?
Only the srong survive I guess.
Well let me fight a rich man.
