To Save Umbilical Cord Blood

To save umbilical cord blood is a hot topic in pregnancy. There are so many advertisements arguing for the benefit of saving umbilical cord blood for stem cells so that if a member of your family needs it, you have it available.

Many private clinics are offering stem cell banking at quite high prices. The initial investment is from $600 to $1800 for the first year and $100 for every other year.

Parents need to be informed about the pros and cons of private cord blood banking or public cord blood banking. Research has shown that the blood from a relative is not necessarily the best option. You can perfectly well have a chance to use one from a donor and even benefit.

Public cord blood banking creates a pool where the blood can be more efficiently used for treatment and research alike.



Saving umbilical cord blood is basically an insurance. However, the odds of needing it is in the range from 1:1000 to 1:200,000. If you donate the umbilical cord blood you are saving a life for sure 1:1 and have the chance of having an alternative insurance investment with the money you save.

To save umbilical cord blood is an option practiced since the 1970s. A lot of the research is still to be made.

So far, it is clear that a public cord blood bank is more beneficial for all. For your family and for the rest. In case you need stem cells, you will have the chance of receiving them from a matching donor. You are saving a lot of money and entering in a win-win system.
