A member asked:
Why do we need to store cord blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For a future illness: Cord blood has stem cells that could be used to re-establish the blood forming capability of a child who lost that ability when high dose drugs were used to treat a cancer or leukemia. Future research may allow us to use stem cells to form new body parts.
