“As a medical research scientist, there was never any question that we would bank our daughter’s cord blood stem cells. It was simply the best option for Elizabeth’s future health since her maternal grandmother died of multiple myeloma. Having Elizabeth’s cord blood available gives us peace of mind. For us, it’s a very small financial investment in her future. Obviously, we hope we never need the cord blood for our daughter or any other family member, but we’re secure in knowing that it’s there should there be a need. As a scientist, I also appreciate the fact that the future of stem cell therapy is bright and growing all the time.”

For Families
Adult vs. Embryonic Stem Cells
Stem cells taken from umbilical cord blood are considered adult stem cells, and are found in many places, including bone marrow and circulating blood. These stem cells are free from controversy and ethical issues and are used every day as a treatment for patients with cancers and other diseases.
These adult stem cells are completely different from embryonic stem cells. As their name suggests, embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos and are highly controversial.
Because cord blood stem cells are taken from a source that is safe,
controversy-free and usually discarded at birth, families are encouraged to
consider saving this valuable resource.
