There is so much going on in the fields of adult/umbilical cord blood stem cell research, that I can’t possibly post it all here at Secondhand Smoke, much less read it all. Happily, these advances are collected by the inestimable Richard Doerflinger, and published on a periodic basis by Do No Harm. Here is the most recent report, “75 New Reasons to Reconsider the Alleged Need for Stem Cell Research that Destroys Human Embryos.” Hey, Richard: You gotta come up with pithier titles!
75 Reasons covers the depth and breadth of recent advances, including links to the studies or stories about them. If you are interested in details about how things are going in this field, check it out. Research in non embryonic stem cell research is moving forward at a splendid pace.
