Re: QQ re: umbilical cord stem cell replacement

[Guest guest]

Donna,

First of all, wow, I am so sorry to hear about your thigh problems, better

torn ligament than a fracture, though. I guess. I was just going to try and find

out where you were and what was up. How are you doing now? I was disappointed

when I didn't see you register for the symposium. I was looking forward to

you and your two friends coming again.

Regarding, " the latest U.S.News magazine and it was talking about folks who

have " genetically selected " a sibling in order to provide healthy umbilical

cord stem cells, to be implanted in an ill child's bone marrow " , that is very

interesting. Unfortunately, the speaker that did the stem cell research is out

of

town this year, and the other doctor moved. That would be an interesting

topic for the symposium. Maybe I will call over to the medical school and see if

I

can find a Geneticist, who might know something about this.
