My stem cell therapy research paper included 2 primary resources. I first interviewed a family that has a child with Cerebral Palsy. Most of the information was gathered from his mother. Her son, Drew is undergoing stem cell therapy in Germany in July he is 10.
I asked her the following questions:
Why have you and your husband decided to have Drew undergo this therapy?
What made you think the XCell Center in Germany was a good choice?
What type of Cerebral Palsy does Drew suffer from?
What symptoms of his Cerebral Palsy are you hoping to see improvements in?
Did you first talk to any medical professional about doing this treatment?
What did his doctor say, did he know of the XCell Center?
What kinds of tests did he have to undergo to be eligible for the program?
Where did he do the tests, how long did it take for the center to let you know you had been approved?
How expensive is the treatment, how long will you have to be there?
What exactly is the treatment that they will perform on Drew?
What have you told him about the treatment?
Did you feel the center was realistic about what he/you might expect from this treatment?
My second primary resource was an interview with Dr. Steven Grover, head of the OBGYN Center at Skyridge Medical Center. My questions to Dr. Grover dealt with the banking of umbilical cord blood.
I asked him the following questions:
What is you opinion of cord blood banking?
How many of your patients do cord blood banking?
What is the cost to bank the cord blood cells?
Do you think the cost is too high?
Do you think the cost is reasonable?
Have you ever banked cord blood for your children?
Do you recommend to your patients to bank their child’s cord blood?
Do you think it is wise to bank these cells?
What do you see happening with cord blood cells for the future?
Do you think cord blood banking would save lives?
