The title says it all: Whether you save your baby's umbilical cord blood privately for their own personal future use or donate it to go on one of the public registries, those stem cells in your child's cord blood could SAVE A LIFE. I think its worth repeating, these stem cells could SAVE A LIFE.
It is no secret that stem cells from a child's cord blood have in the past, at the present moment, and will continue in the future to treat or CURE over 75 diseases. This is just the tip of the iceberg. What the next 5, 10, 15 years will bring in regards to treatment options I think are limitless. 23 states as the writing of this post have passed some form of legislation to increase awareness and education to expecting families about what cord blood banking is all about.
The issue is even with these measures taken, over 90% of deliveries in the United States will discard the cord blood as medical waste. Regardless a parent's decision to bank private or public donation, more awareness and education is needed to increase storage on both sides for the betterment of this revolutionary type of medical treatment. Learn more about the power of cord blood stem cells. I honestly feel it will be an eye-opener and you will see fit to take that 5-minute window of opportunity to do what you can to either potentially protect your child's future medical well-being or give that chance to someone else. We all can do our part because what matters the most is that if your baby's cord blood is not discarded, it COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
