Cord Blood Stem Cells Information

Did you know cord blood can save lives?

Did you know that the ambilical cord blood can save lives of kids with cancer? Why is it not a mandatory question that mothers giving birth get asked? Is it an option anywhere in the world? & how can we let more people know this information? The stem cells taken from the ambilical cord can be grown to help grow what kids need to recover from lukemia. Some older children need twins cord blood, but in most younger childrens cases one is enough as long as it is of the right blood type and covers all the cross matching. We live in australia and it has become obvious to me that it it more well known about with in america, here in australia it is not so well known, i only found out by being in a bad situation and needing to spend time with people whom have children with cancer, this was a huge eye opener to me

1. Yes, I know that, but be careful with posts like this. Yahoo will getcha for solicitations or something like that, you do have a good message, you might consider a website or posting bulletins on blogs such as MySpace or Xanga, Blogspot etc. BTW, some doctors offices and clinics are giving out flyers about cord blood to pregnant mothers.
2. My daughter checked into it and they wanted several hundreds of dollars to have it done, why it not done as a doner situation I don't know.
3. That's interesting... I didn't know that... Did you know there is a startling direct correlation in the decrease of little kids using coloring books and the rise of gang activity.... think about it...
