Indeed the fountain of youth

As my loyal readers know, the official son of Wiki Karmel, Isaac (currently unborn and unconceived), will be the center fielder for the New York Yankees one day. And Sol the Sweetness will be, well, Sweet. Certainly at Isaac's birth (and I will pressure FGS (Fort Worth, TX) to do the same for little Sol), this procedure will take place.

Apparently scientists think they are onto something here. Storing umbilical cord stem cells for future use in rebuilding damaged tissue could be the wave of the future. The article is suggesting elite athletes may start doing this for themselves with their children's' stem cells. However, if you happen to know, as the Great Wiki Karmel does, that your child will be an elite athlete, it only makes sense that the child would want to use their own stem cells one day.
