Have you banked or will you bank your baby's cord blood?

Question

Have you banked or will you bank your baby's cord blood?

Answer 1

I would like to, but honestly can't afford it, so we are talking about donating it.

Answer 2

I didn't but i kinda wish i had.  i have 3 kids, 2 with a deadly genetic disease.  i'd be DEVISTATED if i found out there was a cure if only they had their cord blood to use for the treatment ...

Answer 3

I didn't. After talking with doctors and other people in the medical profession they told me that if you end up with a child with cancer or some other genetic issue that would require transfusion (thus the cord blood) that using the same blood that is banked does NOTHING to cure or help the issue because it will still carry the same DNA and genes that gave your child the issue to begin with.

Answer 4

I certainly did, and I hope I never have to use it.
