[quote=Anonymous]My spouse is very insistent on doing cord blood banking and tissue banking for our baby. It is around $13,000 dollars to bank the cord blood and tissue with lifetime storage. This is honestly a trivial amount of money to us, but I’m skeptical of the benefits. It seems like the lifetime odds that my kid will actually use the cord blood or tissues at some point is around 1/200 at most (with current medical technology). Maybe in the future medical technology will improve dramatically and these stem cells will be able to be used for anti-aging treatments to boost lifespan or something, but that is the only way it might make sense to do it from my perspective. However, my spouse is insistent on doing it anyway. Does anyone here actually know someone that banked their kids cord blood and ended up using it later at some point? [/quote]
