Should Parents Save Their Baby’s Cord Blood?
[TRANSCRIPT OF ANSWER]
“When they collect the cord blood, they throw away all of the red blood cells. They also only can obtain about 60, 70% of the STEM cells. So, so even if the baby is getting these later, he’s not getting the whole, he’s not getting his red blood cells. He’s not getting, all of his STEM cells. And the later uses are really pretty much under question. They’re very experimental. There’s an awful lot of claims being made that, that don’t have any basis. There’s a lot of people saying that this core blood is waste and it is anything but a waste. It is not a waste. And your baby has a right to be all he can be and have all of his cord blood.”
