WebMD has some straight talk on saving cord blood

http://www.webmd.com/baby/should-i-bank-my-babys-umbilical-cord-blood#tn10338

They say that cord blood banks oversell their services, that cord blood is useful in only a tiny number of cases.

They say that a child with leukemia shouldn’t use her own cord blood cells because they may have the same genetic defect that caused leukemia in the first place.

WebMD also takes a fairly favorable view of abortion and a very favorable view of embryonic stem cells, it's no surprise that they downplay the significance of adult stem cells.
