Here is some potentially good news. Umbilical cord blood stem cells have apparently restored sight and speech to a child with cerebral palsy. Keep in mind this report is a press release and not a peer reviewed journal, and thus caution is the watchword of the day. But this apparent success is a heck of a lot better than the Petri dish or mouse embryonic stem cell “successes” so often touted in the media as somehow being major breakthroughs.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
