Stem Cells
Just posted to Blogher on stem cell research. I know this is controversial territory and not the usual subject matter found on the Six Minute Style site and blog, but I'm one hundred percent okay with that. It's relevant, topical and critical. And while the SMS focus is mainly lifestyle, it's not the only thing that interests or concerns us. To assume that all our viewers care about is entertaining, traveling and green-cleaning, is to completely disregard women as multi-dimensional and complex beings. We bring to our lives myriad experiences, prejudices and beliefs that shape our opinions and expectations. I feel strongly that stem cell research is relevant and appropriate. You may not. Pro or con, I welcome your input.

I agree -- we need to continue with this research. We banked our son's cord blood and plan to bank our next child's as well. They started with being able to cure one disease 20 years ago, now stem cells are use to cure 77 diseases -- who knows where we'd be in 20 more years.
