A hot topic I have written quite a bit about is Cord Blood Stem cells. The umbilical cord contains blood that normally would be thrown away. This cord blood can be saved only at birth. Their are lots of private cord blood banks. Something new is the National Cord Blood Bank at the New York Blood Bank. Almost 80 diseases are already being treated with cord blood. This miracle source of hemopoitic stem cells should be saved.
