Slightly gross. And surely rather unnecessary and feeding off fear-mongering. |

| | | You have to laugh or you will vomit. Discrete collecting kits?? Imagine the poor postman who has to deliver vial after vial of half dried menstrual gunk to that company. Poor poor postie. |

| | | I agree with you that it plays on people's fears but it's interesting to think it could be beneficial as far as research is concerned. |

Honestly I can't see many people paying $499 to store a years worth of period... I think i just vomited in my mouth a little.. |

| | | Without having read the article, I assume this is so you can donate blood to M-to-F transexuals so they can have realistic periods? |

| | Quote: Professor Peter Braude, professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, from London's King's College and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, said: "This is all hypothesis and hype. This is such a long way off. I can see no reason why you would need to collect your own menstrual fluid.
"The thing that worries me most is that it is capitalising on people's insecurity."
Mercedes Walton, chairman and CEO of Cryo-Cell, said: "It's not preying upon a fear. Stem cell science is real.
"It's building upon our knowledge, the proven history of stem cells and upon the hope of the advancements that will come with regenerative science."
Rebecca Rutter, operations manager for UK-based private cord blood storage facility Cells4Life, questioned how practical the service was as a source for stem cells.
"Stem cells have been identified in menstrual blood. But it is too early to tell if they are going to be therapeutically viable.
| wow...maybe it's a way to promote the use of menstural cups? Get green ladies!  |

| | | That is kind of gross, but if they do find stem cells in menstrual blood then perhaps it isn't so bad. I personally wouldn't send my menstrual blood anywhere but my tampon and down the toilet, but...if this can be beneficial it would be huge for the stem cell research community. I am all for stem cell research. |

| | | So...If I have a DivaCup, couldn't I just 'harvest' my own menstrual blood and store it in a Mason in my own damn freezer or something? $500 a year seems kind of pricey. |

| | | If Richard Branson really cared about the environment he'd be excavating the sewers for flushed miscarriages to get his damn stem cells. |

| | | Reading this article, I thought: why didn't I think of this scam?
So, in the end, you can pay lots of money to store your uterine waste with the idea that maybe, if it someday proves actually useful, and you get some horrid disease, it may be helpful?
Seeing that all month long you build this lining, aren't you always building a ready and fresh supply that could be harvested if needed? Unless you've gone through menopause I suppose, but still, seems like an awful lot of dosh for something that relies on pure speculation and no scientific fact. |

| | | Hmm...Don't you think they should pay the women for doing that instead of women paying them? I mean, c'mon even i'd do it if the price was right. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
