Yep, it was Chord Blood stem cells NOT embryonic stem cells.

 From your link.   *The tissue was created from blood taken from babies'
umbilical cords just a few minutes after birth.*

There is no federal funding ban on NON-Embryonic stem cell research, but
don't let the facts get in the way or your politics.  Michael J. Fox, nor
any of the MSM do.
