Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ororo for the heads-up.

Actually "Holy shit" is PRECISELY what's going to prevent this kind of medical practice from taking place in the good ol' Yoo-Ess-uv-Aye.

Sorry to be a buzzkill.

No apologies necessary - when you're right, you're right.

Even if they are using umbilical cells (to which I cannot think of a single ethical objection -- basically, it's healing people using garbage), I can imagine this being an impossible sell anyway.

Too many people make up their minds about an issue after hearing a randomly chosen 50% of the words in the first sentence of its description, and cannot be dissuaded from this opinion by any means.
