Did you know that the umbilical cord blood is a great source of stem cells? We've know about this for years. And babies are born almost every minute of every day. If we were able to immediatally collect all the umbilical cords (after the infant is done with it), I doubt we'd need another source for stem cells. I even just came up with a motto: Save a life, donate an umbilical cord. Or maybe: Save an embryo, donate an umbilical cord. Whatever.
Don't you think that this has occurred to the experts as well? My understanding is that these stem cells aren't suitable for the needs of the scientists. Granted, I'm just a message board poster too, but if you came up with this idea, don't you think that the people paid to think about this topic all day every day have already come up with it?
