~ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY~

We have had some beautiful weather here in Arkansas the last couple days. I don't know about you all but I have had one busy weekend of writing a draft for this class and doing an outline for another. It is a wonder everything has not ran together; info from one class to another.
You know there is a wealth of information out there on stem cell research, everyone has there own opinion on the subject. Some agree that embryonic stem cell research is the it thing and others like myself totally disagree. If they can come up with a way that would be not destroy embryos then I am all for it but if not please please find an alternative. One method has proven note worthy and that is umbilical cord blood. Maybe if someone can come up with way for mothers to donate their cord blood after birth that is if they don't keep for themselves then maybe with the cord blood they can manipulate the stem cells from there to mimic that of embryonic stem cells. I have read some research that cord blood has been tested for stem cells. Studies show that cord blood does show some stem cells present but studies have also shown that these cells can be manipulated. Can I say very Promising!!!
