Doctors take stem cells from the patient. These are unique in their ability to form any of the tissues that make up the body.

I believe the policy is for Fetal stem cell research.
But that's not what is mentioned in the news clip. They mention the "patient's" Stem cells.
The stem cells that are not yet destined to a particular function in the body are found in a fetus or in a newborn (umbilical cord cells). These are the best to start with. This is why freezing the umbilcal cord is a popular procedure as it helps insure the future treatment options for the child.
Am I wrong here?
