Hi! This is very interesting one and I think before some where I got this answer, that why have a look..”Cord blood, or umbilical cord blood, is blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta at the time of birth. This blood has typically been discarded following delivery. But once scientists discovered it was a rich source of stem cells, umbilical cord blood became a viable substitute to bone marrow in thousands of successful transplants.”
Thanks for sharing this with us.

No guarantee I guess with a public bank. If someone uses it before you then you won’t get it. Private bank- they won’t give it to anyone but you. It is a risk you take for the zero cost with public banks.

Every parent should be encouraged to preserve their baby’s cord blood. It is the best gift we can give to our children. I recently saw a news segment where a stem cell bank in India, LifeCell International banked the stem cells of a baby and using these stem cells, the baby’s sister was cured of thalassemia. It felt great to see how technology can be a life saviour.
Cheers.

Very interesting article. The plus being the advantages and disadvantages given which one would find helpful before opting for stem cell storage. Language is simple yet clear enough for any person to understand.
