@corlin I wonder if this could lead to a cure for Type 1 diabetes as that is an immunological disease.
@NorthernInvader @corlin I was just wondering the same thing! (One of my kids is a T1 diabetic and we did happen to bank his umbilical cord blood stem cells at birth)
@AverageCitizen @NorthernInvader

But we had better vote blue to find out. Because the moment republicans win, they will shut down all biological research.

If Republicans had always had their way, we would've all died from smallpox 100 years ago.
