This is one touchy subject as many people are either for or against it and then there are some that are on the border I guess like me. A couple weeks ago I actually got a phone call from a survey place wanting my opinions on some political stuff and of course Stem Cell Research was brought up.
I know for me when I thought of Stem cell research the only thing I thought of was how they were killing embryos or fetuses to be able to study them. I am pro-life and am against killing a embryos or fetuses just to study them even though I would love for them to come up with a cure for things like alzheimer's.
Then I found out something I thought was really cool, yet many people might think it's gross. C'elle has started a service that will provide women a safe and easy method to collect their menstrual fluid which will preserve stem cells! They will store the menstrual cells at a very low temperature so in case later on down the road you find out that someone in your family has a disorder like osteoporosis they will be able to use the cells for therapy! (At least that's how I read it)
I had also read that the blood from the umbilical cord works great for that as well and many Mother's are now banking that too.
