This biased, liberal rag NEVER mentioned the words: stem cells, ADULT STEM CELLS or Ethical and Effective stem cell use. Bone Marrow adult stem cells have been used for almost 30 years to produce healthy leukocytes. Multipotent peripheral blood stem cells and umbilical cord blood stem cells can also be used.
Star Ledger articles are on line for 14 days, if you want the article copy and save it now.
Thanks for the post and the info that blood marrow transplant involves adult stem cells.
I didn't see "Newark Star Ledger" on the "excerpt only" list. You could post the entire article.
Nice story, and it's the first I've heard of the bone marrow registry. I think I'll look into signing up. It's a very small sacrifice that can save someone's life.
Mysterious ways...

A most precious gift--Donated Umbilical cord blood saves lives. Just ask these grateful parents
Thanks.
I encourage everyone to click through and read the whole beautiful story. I'm a little verklempt.
Time is precious.
It IS a beautiful story. Lump in throat comparable to your verklemptness.
Reminds me of the chick flick "Return to Me" with David Duchovny and Minnie Driver, which, I confess, I have among my small, personal DVD collection.
I was never sure if it would be verklemptness or verklempticity or verklempthood or verklemptitude.
Let's think this through, Petronski. Verklemptness was the appropriate use in my reply to you. Verklempticity is too 'happy' -- like serendipity; verklempticity resembles the word velocity, thereby essentially removing the 'gulp!' factor; verklempthood reminds me too much of the name of a Brooklyn neighborhood; verklemptitude is a good one and could probably be used interchangeably with verklemptness.
On that note, I think it's time for me to go to sleep. :-)
Sleep well. ;O)
I think that "verklemptheit" would be fitting.
Did I sneeze? ;O)
Compared to what these people have been through, eHarmony is for wimps.

Merry Christmas to you, funnyman.
;O)
Just don't hide it.
Now I have THIS stuck in my head:
Someone stole the kishka
Someone stole the kishka
Who stole the kishka,
from the butcher's shop?
Who stole the kishka?
Who stole the kishka?
Who stole the kishka?
Someone call the cops!
Fat and round and firmly packed
It was hanging on the rack
Someone stole the kishka
When I turned my back
Who stole the kishka?
Who stole the kishka?
Who stole the kishka?
Someone bring it back!
Someone stole the kishka
Someone stole the kishka
Who stole the kishka,
from the butcher shop?
Who stole the kishka?
Who stole the kishka?
Who stole the kishka?
Someone call the cops!
Yusef found the kishka
Yusef found the kishka
Yusef found the kishka
And he hung it on the rack.
He found the kishka
He found the kishka
He found the kishka
Yusef brought it back
Hey!
I love a love stroy.
Thanks for the ping,
and................
a Holy Happy Christmas to you.
