Christian Pope, M.D.: Cord Blood Banking Worth Considering

"Expecting a baby is an exciting and overwhelming experience for both new and veteran parents, who are faced with many important decisions to make for the family's future.

So, parents, you've got the car seat, the Mercedes-Benz of strollers, and the deluxe diaper bag... but have you considered perhaps the most important preparation of all?

Cord blood banking is the collection and storage of the stem cells found in your newborn's umbilical cord, and should be considered by any parent-to-be. It is a rich, non-controversial source of stem cells that can only be collected at the time of birth."


Great perspective from a M.D. on why cord blood banking is a wise decision to make for the future well-being of your child. The number of transplants using cord blood stem cells were 1% in 2000 and now account for 22% of transplants. Do your research and I urge all parents to become educated and aware of the benefits cord blood banking offers> It could one day looking back be the best decision you've ever made!!!
