What stem cells are sometimes banked by parents? petal, embryonic, cells from the umbilical cord and from baby teeth, or hematopoetic stem cells from red and white blood cells.
00:13
Okay, so the goal here is banking stem cells for potential medical use in the future.
00:21
So these stem cells can be used potentially treating disease in adulthood, so it might be a good thing to do for the child.
00:28
But where do they get these stem cells from? well, it's not a or b, because both of these would be invasive.
00:38
This is while the baby is still developing.
00:42
So this would be an invasive procedure to get into the uterus and take these.
00:46
So they don't do this.
00:48
It would be difficult, it would be invasive, bad idea.
00:52
It's also not d.
00:54
Red and white blood cells aren't stem cells...
