Just thought I'd add more info to the topic. Rather than try to reiterate the information myself, I might as well just link directly to the source. http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/journalgazette/15346072.htm I read this article on an e-newsletter I receive dealing with ACT.

I'm thinking of the recent findings that freezing extra embryos(ala IVF) causes damage which may not show up until that embryo is implanted and becomes a child. And how long have we been doing that? 3) Why keep wasting money on ESCR when stem cells from cord blood(for example) show much more promise and don't face the same ethical dilemma? Interesting enough, I got <a href="http://www.cbhd.org/media/pr/2006-08-24.htm" rel="nofollow">this respons</a>e to the study from the <a href="http://www.cbhd.org" rel="nofollow">CBHD</a> in my inbox today.
