Umbilical Cord Stem Cells: Ethical Or Not? 🤔

And then there's umbilical cord and placental derived stem cells. These are quite different than embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are not legal in the United States. That's where you'd have an aborted fetus. And we take the stem cells from. From embryo. That's not done in the United States at all. There's some embryonic stem cell research going on from embryos that were obtained 30, 40 years ago, but nobody's doing that clinically. It's not allowed and not ethical. So. But umbilical stem cells and placenta stem cells certainly are. People right now, when they have a baby, they have an option of banking their baby's umbilical stem cells for use later on, or they can just donate them and then manuf those umbilical cords and extract the stem cells out. In some cases, expand them. So those are available and the doctor can order them and you can use them.
