Ask Slashdot: Store Umbilical Cord Blood — and If So, Where?

Posted by timothy on from the freezer-at-the-overlook-hotel-is-good dept.

gambit3 writes "My wife and I are expecting our first child in 3 months, and one of the decisions we still have to make is whether to store our baby's cord blood. Even if we decide the upfront cost is worth it, there is still the question of using a public bank or a private one (and which one to trust), and whether to also store umbilical cord tissue for stem cells. Does you have any experience or suggestions?"

    Keep it at your home in your freezer and defrost it in a year and eat it

    Just drink it and feel the awesome baby power. Eat the baby too for an even better effect. The chinks do it and there's over a billion of them, so it must be good for something...
