$400 Million Spin-offs: Then like a good fad, everyone wanted in on the baby-clamping-trend and its spin-off benefits. In Canada, they have intended a $400 million fund for research being set aside. And everyone wants a piece of the pie. I say, budget that for the victims. In the States, it amounts to Billions for cord stem research. I say it will not be the first time the public has been conned. In that Nation, the President is the Honorary President of the American Red Cross. I say, it will not be the first time governments have lied to their taxpayers and deceived them or caused the greater number of persons, the working man, to be the burden-horse.
Mothers simply are not sophisticated enough to spot a cells/sales pitch. The expecting mother is simply not educated is actually trained to trust her medical person, blindly, and accepting wishy-washy answers if she does make inquiries, and without a witness to the answers she obtained from her medical person. How many women fear to challenge their doctor today, or to ask for their file to read the comments in it, and to see all the tests and so forth that by law all individuals can do. True in Canada since 1992, and again in 1999 when it was challenged if doctors could deprive any person access to their private medical files. They try, but when it goes to court, they must allow the patient to see their files, and have copies of "anything" in the file, or the complete file.
While most BC Hospitals, on the lower mainland, at the maternity wards would not reveal where the blood from placentas go, and the placentas themselves. But, at the Royal Alexander Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, lab technicians admitted they are given two and three tubes of placenta blood to do the hospital's directed research of the day. Alberta's Health and Wellness Minister, the Hon. Gary Mar , who has a criminal law degree, accepted this as normal medical procedure. This was accepted as acceptable practice by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons, too. No questions asked as to protection of the baby's right to all property rights of its placenta , that I call a blood bag.
