in the news today....

this is from the chicago sun-times today. the woman featured is a friend of my friend stephanie. rhonda's story is amazing and was made possible with stem-cells.

also reported this morning in usa today: scientists have found a way to extract stem cells from amniotic fluid, which is a promising breakthrough for this therapy since obtaining the cells is virtually without controversy (but i'm sure someone will find fault with it just to be a trouble maker).
