Would you use a cord bank?
GrandMasterBirt: Would not do that. Currently they take YOUR skin cells and turn them into stem cells. A couple of years ago the process was discovered/perfected. I have a friend who has a degenerative eye condition and this was discussed with him very recently. Basically babies are not needed for stem cells anymore. Its why the stem cell research was allowed again in the US provided that the cells are retrieved using the skin -> stem cell method not the aborted fetus -> stem cell method.
