The House of Representatives has passed the Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research Reauthorization Act of 2025 (HR 5160), sponsored by Rep. Chris Smith, to reauthorize and expand funding for umbilical cord blood stem cell research.
“Not only has God, in His infinite wisdom and goodness, created a placenta and an umbilical cord to nurture and protect the precious life of an unborn child—but now, we know that another gift awaits immediately after birth,” said Rep. Smith. “Something very special is left behind: cord blood that is teeming with lifesaving stem cells.”
