Cord blood banking does not deprive the donor

I’ve become aware that some well-meaning people are opposed to cord blood banking. I’ve never collected blood for banking, but I’ve sent placentas off to research (when I was in training) and a couple off for pathology examination. Most just go in the trash. We do collect a teaspoon or less of the cord blood … Continue reading

Essay on stem cells and cloning from the UK

Excellent piece – it’s almost poetry – from the Telegraph on the history and current state of stem cell research. I hope you will read the whole piece which discusses stem cells in light of their potential for good and bad regeneration – or healing and cancer. The stem-cell breakthrough happened long ago. Hercules was … Continue reading

The egg-count is going up – currently around 2000 for the first report in 2004’s Science report on a single … Continue reading

What became of all those eggs?

The Korean veterinarian, Woo Suk Hwang,paid for and otherwise procured hundreds – maybe a thousand – of human oocytes that were supposedly used in his now-debunked research to produce human cloned embryonic stem cells. (For history – see this AAAS press release from May which emphatically repeats the “unpaid donor” line) What actually happened to … Continue reading

>Roe Yung Hye, dean of research at Seoul National University, that is. Dr. Roe is the lead man cited by the New York Times as revealing that the University has determined that none of the 11 cloned human embryonic stem cells reported in Science this last June exist. They probably never did. The NYT is … Continue reading
