I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding Umbilical Cord blood. However I am one of those few people that are in support of Umbilical Cord Stem Cell research and Cord Blood preservation.
If blood banking was widely available when my son was born over 13 years ago, I would have saved his Umbilical blood just in case it was needed for him in the future.
I would do and will do, anything possible to help my son if he became ill. Cryo-Cell is one of the world’s largest and most established family cord blood banks. Treating disease with Stem Cells is just one of the many new possible treatments out there and by the year 2015 there will be 10,000 Cord Blood transplants world-wide per year using publicly banked cord blood. The Value of Cord Blood is increasing every day and I truly believe that every Mom should bank their kids Cord Blood. If we can help save lives by something as simple as this, why not do it? I do understand some Moms’ opposition, but to save a life, is it not worth it? Life is so very precious; every day I am thankful for my son, my family, my health and my job. Thats all that matters anyway. Everything else is just fluff.
