I still don't see why people make this out to be some human tragedy...There is plenty of proof that stem cells are an integral part of finding cures for many "incurable" diseases.
Some people honestly need to get off there high horse and maybe realize that some advances in medicine come at certain costs, but these costs are minimal when it comes to the pain and suffering people with these diseases live with everyday.
There are many forms of stem cells which are "harvested" in many different ways. I don't see how harvesting Blood chord stem cells hurts anyone.
Embryonic stem cells on the other hand are a little more controversial. But whoever decides to donate their test tube babies and what not to science it is there choice and has nothing to do with any of us.
