Weird, I didn't really know that....

Yeah all the stuff they can do with it sounds great. Seems like it may be the next step in medical treatment and lead to cures for a lot of prominant illnesses. However, if you can get those types of cells from umbilical cord blood, why is there the debate about using embyros? Or is it just that each "stem cell" must come from a specific body part?
