First trimester fetal brain cells (from 8-12 week old unborn babies who have been aborted) are mature enough that they have been used for experimental treatment of Parkinson's Disease. However, it would take second trimester or older fetal cells (from aborted babies, 16 to 24 weeks old) in order to get pancreatic cells with physiological function mature enough to hope for success in treating diabetic patients.
