They Are Everywhere--Stem Cells, That Is
Now found in hair follicles. Positive early tests in mice for the potential treatment of spinal cord injury. Amazing.

Secondhand Smoke: Your 24/7 Seminar on Bioethics and the Importance of Being Human
This Blog considers assisted suicide/euthanasia, bioethics, human cloning, biotechnology, radical environmentalism, and the dangers of animal rights/liberation. My views expressed here, as in my books and other writings, reflect my understanding that the philosophy of human exceptionalism is the bedrock of universal human rights. Or, to put it another way: human life matters. (The opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily those of any organization with which I am affiliated.)

That is awesome!
I'm content in the knowledge that we'll be able to figure out how to use the stuff our own bodies produce to cure ourselves, without having to rely on dead babies for stem cells. Yes, that was harsh, I admit it, but I'm feeling a bit stubborn tonight.
luckily for us all we don't need to rely on dead babies for embryonic stem cell research either. There are far more than enough leftover eggs sitting in vitro fertilization clinics that we can use before they are thrown in a garbage can. As the parent of a child with type I diabetes I say lets research them all - adult and embryonic.

That was a ref to an earlier post Wesley did - "Killing Babies for Stem Cells?" I wasn't very clear on that. I'm sorry. :-(
Anything that might offer any kind of help should be studied thouroughly, not sacrificed for political motives.
I hope that your baby does well and that you and yours enjoy this beautiful holiday season! And I'm sorry again for the confusion in that last post.
