While scientists must destroy human life to obtain embryonic stem cells, McGuckin says they're in ready supply from a newborn's umbilical cord and its blood and able to be find in specific matches for patients.Meanwhile, embryonic stem cell transplants also have problems with cancers and tumors afterwards, but McGuckin said that's not the case with adult stem cells from the umbilical cord.
News that will NEVER be reported by the mainstream media.

“We have been able to produce insulin-secreting cells from cord blood,
which is pretty much a first,” McGuckin told the London Times.
The real reason this won't get much MSM reportage: it's a hit by
a twin warhead.
First, adult stem cells that do something much better than embryonic stem cells.
Second, it's from cord blood and that's been on the hit list of the
embryonic stem cell crowd.
There was a multi-page article in a Sunday Los Angeles Times last year
attacking cord blood (and thus also adult stem cells).
It mentioned a lawyer in Orange County that was trying to get a class-action
lawsuit going based on "over-promises" by the cord blood banks, but
he was whining that he couldn't get any plaintiff/clients.
One of the times that the LA Times gives free advertizing to
wingnut groups they are allied with.

The text makes it clear they are quoting from an interview with The Times of London. That's about as mainstream as it gets.

McGuckin also told the Times that a little bit of umbilical cord blood goes a long way. He indicated that storing the blood from just one baby born out of 5,000 would ensure enough adult stem cells for the entire population.
Embryonic stem cell researchers are reportedly upset.
