Fetal stem cells from nine weeks gestation onward are used in clinics abroad, including Ukraine, but the US avoids them due to ethical concerns. American clinics use autologous stem cells instead, harvested from patients' own bone marrow or fat, or from birth tissues like umbilical cord and amniotic membrane.
I have seen fetal stem cells being used. So that's from a fetus. And that can come from anywhere from nine weeks all the way to, I guess, until close to birth. That's a fetus. There are clinics, such as in Ukraine, that they can take, I guess, parts of the body of the fetus. They can process that and give it to a person. But that is not done in the US for obvious reasons, because of ethical concerns. So. So in the United States, only cells that are used will be from your own body. That will be mostly from bone marrow or fat. And if you're using mesenchymal stem cells, if you're using from your own body, it'll be mostly from fat. If you're using it from the birth tissue, it will be from the umbilical cord tissue or amniotic membrane.
