I know stem cell therapy is a hot topic to a lot of people. I think research into it is wonderful. The stem cells hold the key to curing many diseases that are otherwise incurable or so many experts seem to think. A lot of people thank that stem cell research will cause more women to have abortions but I don’t think one has anything to do with the other. Women are going to have abortions for one reason or another and I don’t think stem cell research has nothing to do what so ever with that decision. If more hospitals would or could harvest the stem cells from the umbilical cords of the babies that are born in their hospitals, we would have a great deal of them to conduct research with but the cords are simply discarded. Some parents are having them harvested in case the child has a life threatening disease but it is not made readily known to most parents.
There is another way to harvest stem cells. Visit C’elle and you will find a new way a woman can collect her own stem cells through her normal monthly cycle. It is a new method that will allow the collection of women’s stem cells to be used if she ever faces a life threatening disease. The best part is these cells may even be able to be used by her parents, siblings and her children along with herself. Stem cells fight heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and much more. We really don’t know the extent of what stem cells can help cure or at least improve the quality of life in some diseases. Through the stem cells, we could possibly find a cure for HIV, AIDS, and other diseases we haven’t even thought of preventing or possible cures for.
