There seems to be a lot of confusion between embryonic stem cells and umbilical cord stem cells. They're completely different things. The embryonic stem cells come from a forming embryo, usually day five to seven after fertilization. Whereas the umbilical cord stem cells come from a life healthy birth. When the baby is born, the cord is cut, usually the cord and the placenta is tossed away into biological waste basket. But now we can send them to tissue banks to get some powerful cells out of there.
