This article reaches out to the public because of its controversial idea of this being the "first stem cell transplant". It is a very interesting take on the idea of just waiting a few more seconds before cutting the umbilical cord. I think this technique was very effective because it related this "something new" to a very big controversial topic. Since stem cell research has such notoriety I think this article will influence the public because they will take what they know about the stem cell debate and apply it here.
