It seems like a good thing all across the board and without reference to politics. Congress passed a Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Act to fund research using stem cells from cord blood, as well as more funding for the bone marrow transplant organization. Seems like a good thing. No reason to make a political to do. But then again, why not use it as an opportunity to divide the nation even further by confusing people about whether “cord blood cells are better and a moral substitute” for embryonic cells? Consensus? We don’t need no stinking consensus.
