Informative quote about Cord Blood Banking

“There are a number of things we know that make cord
blood valuable and there are things that we can only predict
that it will be used for in the future, but right now there are
things called stem cells which are building-block cells that
can become anything – so in the future, if a baby needs
certain transplants, like say, for bone marrow for leukemia.
There are a lot of things that we don’t even know yet that
they could be used for.”

The U.S. Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Richard H.
Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S. from an interview on the
Discovery Health Network
