Cord blood banking vs donation

For our parents' generation, the umbilical cord from a newborn was never given a moment's thought. It was removed from the birth process and considered as medical waste. But today we're bombarded with information on cord blood banking as soon as we're pregnant.The decision to store it for private use or offer it as a public donation is a hot topic of debate. Stem cell research, another hot button, has led to medical advances which allow patients to be treated for blood diseases and even organ growth and transplants.There are several hospitals in N.C. which collect cord blood for public donation. Have you considered it? Email us your story.
