Kyle, Ken. et al, here is a link to an article which tells about the cord stem cells. It cites ancedotal evidence, but no studies.

I don't know what to believe.

>Kristina, you raise good and important questions. I hope everybody here can feel your concerns. They are very valid, and like you said, the questions can only be answered by each person and their families, not legislated by some social policy.

>As to the don't care and stuff.... Here are a few things I think you missed
>in the tone of what I wrote.
>
>I wanted my child.... I know know about the pill and was 27 years old... she
>was planed.... not the question.
>The doctors NEVER mentioned that they could and would 'save' her. I thought
>they were doing a DNC to save my life. I told my mother we would have to try
>again next year for a baby... and told her on the phone because they had told
>my family I was being watch and the doctors would do nothing right away... but
>then 1 hours later they said off to the OR.
>
>I have had disabilied friends all my life... blind, deaf, no legs and my
>mother had a stroke 14 years before the birth of my daughter. My mother and I
>had many talks about my mother stroke risk and quality of life issues. My
>family beleives in no tube or machine to extend life. Laying in a bed and looking
>at the ceiling is not life to us.... just us. We make no choices for other.
>I am just saying that prople should be the one to make choices for thier selfs
>and families.
>
>I was never ask about putting my child on a ventilator, on experimental
>equipment, on giving her blood, or doing a spinal tap. The doctors she had when
>she was first born only wanted the money. They said when they were done "take
>her home or give her to the state". They did not care what kind of life she
>would have.She has CP, mental delays, and a feeding tube.
>
>I care very much for her. When we changed hospitals and were finally told
>her mostlikely outcome... they said she would die a slow death. She would
>suffocate over a few days and would casp for her last few breaths. They said she
>would only know tubes and needles to keep her alive. Hoe could ANY human with
>a soul WISH that on another human. I as a mother could not.
>BUT we have betten the odds.... we got her home...on a ventilator until she
>was 2 years old. Now she is 12 and has CP...and is mental delayed... NO it is
>not the end of the world and yes I love her. BUT who will take care of her
>when I am gone? Who will change her diaper like it should be, who will give her
>a bath ever day, who will brush her hair, who will clip her nails. Will she
>be one of those un-lucky ones in a care home that gets raped or hurt on a
>regular basis? Remember the news coverd a story a few months back where some man
>had raped up to 40 women in homes. I do not want this for my child. I will
>not kill her nor let her get sick... she has done better they thought she would
>do because of us (her family) and our hard work. But I am an only child...
>so when I am gone and my dad is gone she will have to be in a home.
>
>I know of kids that are 3 and 4 years old and have never left the hospital
>nor been off of machines... this can be the life of some premature infants. To
>me this is just doctor greed.... not saving a life. If you believe if
>GOD.... he deicded the life was to end but then man or the devil in man made people
>intervein and 'save' these kids.
>
>If it was your older family member...they had a massive stroke and would
>never walk, talk, of leave the hospital again.... would you tell the doctors to
>put them on machines and tubes? I have a living will not to be on machines and
>tube.. for myself but was not ask for my child.
>
>I love her and take good care of her..... but I wish someone had ask before
>shoving machines in her.
