[quote=Anonymous]I considered it for my second child, and ultimately didn’t do it. My older child has a condition that puts them at higher risk for leukemia and other issues, and I was hoping their sibling’s cord blood could help them if they ever developed a problem. However, I spoke to our pediatrician and our geneticist, and they both agreed the technology just isn’t there yet for most conditions, nor was there any guarantee that their sibling would even be a match. We’d be spending a lot of money for something that we would probably never use, which would be better spent on therapies for our older child. So we didn’t do it. [/quote]
