Governor gives green light for
umbilical cord blood research
From staff reports
On Tuesday, Governor
Sonny Perdue signed an
Executive Order creating
the Governor’s Commission
for Newborn Umbilical Cord
Blood Research and Medical
Treatment.
The commission will
establish a network of post
natal tissue and fluid banks
in partnership with univer
sities, hospitals, nonprofit
organizations and private
firms in Georgia for the
purpose of collecting and
storing postnatal tissue and
fluid.
“Collecting nonembryonic
stem cells from umbilical
cord blood is safe, painless
and risk-free, ” said Governor
Sonny Perdue. “Cord blood
treatments are an ethically
responsible way to relieve
suffering and save lives.”
The commission, which
will be administratively
attached to the Department
of Human Resources, will
be made up of 15 mem
bers, to be appointed by the
Governor. The commission
will encourage cord blood

ally be treated more effec
tively or even cured with
stem cells. The umbilical
cord, placenta and amni
otic fluid are rich in stem
cells which can be used
for scientific research and
medical treatment with

already resulted in treat

lymphoma, lupus, multiple

Therapies using nonem

being studied for diseases as
wide-ranging and diverse as
corneal degeneration, heart
disease, stroke, Parkinson’s
disease and Alzheimer’s dis
