I asked MATT at CBAI, on their face book page, if this recent news will help or hurt CBAI. I'm still concerned about the recent news possibly being bad for all cord blood storage and private "cord blood" stem cells banks and labs. The news is about 'embryonic' stem cells. Specifically, Federal research funding for embryonic stem cells. If you can now have embryonic stem cells (the most desired stem cells) then why would any one want cord blood stem cells that are "almost" made to act like the superior embryonic ones? CBAI is not in the business of embryonic stem cells. I hope I'm wrong and this news some how really helps CBAI.
