1. My friend is intending to use this service for his newborn child. To him, it is like buying another form of insurance.
2. Big advantage- Cancer, if the child or family member gets cancer, the stem cells in the umbillical cord can be used to treat it. Big Disadvantage- Cost, It costs a lot of money to bank cord blood. Good Luck
