"Newborn stem cells can be found in cord blood and the umbilical cord itself, referred to as cord tissue. Umbilical cords are noncontroversial sources of valuable stem cells that are collected after the umbilical cord has been cut and removed, so no harm or pain to baby.
Cord Blood Stem Cells can be harvested and used in treatments for Cancer, Blood disorders, Immune Disorders and Metabolic Disorders. I am sure most of us know someone that has been stricken with one of these illnesses and required treatments."
Great little blog article about cord blood stem cells. These are not controversial as the cord is discarded after delivery as medical waste. But every time someone throws away an umbilical cord full of pristine cord blood stem cells, they are discarding someone's possible "new lease on life" Learn more by visiting the link below for free information about cord blood banking.
