Discarding placentas is a missed opportunity because they represent a valuable resource for pluripotent stem cells that could be used for regenerative medicine.

“So, to me, this seems like a huge breakthrough and I'm quite shocked that more people aren't talking about this, and that people are still throwing the placenta away every day.”

The placenta is a rich source of stem cells that should be banked and utilized for therapeutic purposes instead of being discarded.

“The whole argument with this one is that don't throw your placenta out. Let's see where we can use it.”
