The article I learned about this issue from was:
http://www.sott.net/articles/show/247346-Stem-Cells-May-Help-Reverse-Diabetes
Diabetes is currently plaguing the United States. Children are being born with type 1 and more and more older people are developing type 2 diabetes. The fact that this can be cured by stem cells may change a lot of people's minds on the topic. I am a firm believer in stem cell research and treatment. If a person saves their placenta cord blood I think they should be allowed to use it to treat any diseases they have such as diabetes. For children who were born with type one diabetes it really is not fair for them to be told that they cannot be treated and that research will not be done for them. Advancing this area of science can only improve the lives of so many people in the United States and around the world.
