Thanks for the ping. I'm always fascinated with the medical breakthroughs using umbilical cord stem cells.
Not to necessarily plug my blog, but I have many more links in yesterday's post concerning this story.
There is no excuse for using fetal cells. We know how horribly they failed in adult Parkinson's Disease. Those experiments even resulted in sham brain surgeries on other patients - all "approved." And now, these babies will have holes drilled in their heads and the brain cells of other babies inserted.
