Patricia ...cord blood...there is one major charity and hospital in england that is collecting cord blood for research and treatment (but not for als yet!) We have 2 new grandchildren due over the next 3 months and we are having the cord blood collected and stored for ANY potential use in the future for any disease. It is stored for 20 years. I asked my neuro (who is heavily into research) for an honest answer as to whether to collect it or not, as it is really expensive, and he gave a resounding YES answer. Maybe it wont benefit me, but it is insurance for my family for the future. Did you know you can also collect stem cells from baby teeth, they have to be collected and stored in a specific way.
Would I have embryonic stem cell treatment...YES YES YES if it was being done by a reputable doctor/hospital
