Stem Cells have a purpose which is a huge controversy. Taking cells from an unborn child can create defects or take away life. What makes this okay?
However, from briefly reading this, it shows cord cells, which is from the umbilical cord/placenta, which does not seem to effect the child. This is just a brief poll to see where you all stand on it, just from an outside perspective. I have not done much research, but I plan too, hopefully you all do too before you ever allow them to use these for you, or take them from you.

I'm not against it nor for it really. It's certainly not harmful to the baby at all to use the cord blood because they extract the blood after the baby is born and the cord is cut. The issue I have with this is that the medical industry is shitting out Cord Banks left and right and marketing them to expecting mothers in attempts to scare them into storing their baby's cord blood which is not cheap ($4000 minimum and health insurance doesn't cover it). Sure it's good to have if your child does develop a disease of some sort which the odds aren't that high and then you need to understand that even if your child develops something terrible the cord blood very rarely will help because the cells most likely are carrying the exact disease your child developed. From what I've managed to gather from it is that it's just a scare tactic for the medical industry to make more money in an already $250 MILLION dollar a year business (surprise surprise). If I could throw away $4000+ dollars without batting an eye would I do it? Sure. But unless I win the mega millions it's not happening and I won't feel any less protected.
