Is it worth the expenses to save your children's umbilical cord blood? Companies that store this blood say yes, however doctor's say it is not worth the time. They say that even if your child is diagnosed with a disease, the cells in the blood will be infected to. The only reason to save this blood is if the child has a sick sibling. While others say that it is not just in hopes to save their children that parents should save the cord blood, but in hopes that science is always progressing and one day it could lead to new advances.
The lead of this story drew me in. It was good, starting with a situation that is all over the news, all the time. Stemcells. Then it followed with a quote that backed up one side. Then stated the other side's opinon. This is how the story continued. It was basically an argument back and forth between the yes and no sides of stemcell research. It was nothing new, but was still filled with good information for those of you who are just getting into the great stem cell debate.
