Umbilical Cord Blood?

I was wondering how much is it to save your babys umbilical cord blood?

1. The expense of collecting and storing the cord blood can be a deciding factor for many families. At a commercial cord-blood bank, you'll pay approximately $1,000-$2,000 to store a sample of cord blood, in addition to an approximately $100 yearly maintenance fee. You might also pay an additional fee of several hundred dollars for the cord-blood collection kit, courier service to the cord-blood bank, and initial processing.
2. Viacord is hte most popular cord blood bankers. Here is a link to their prices... http://www.viacord.com/pricing-storage-plans.htm It is quite expensive. That is why we are just going to donate our baby's. Just because we cannot afford to save it doesn't mean it won't save some other child's life... EDIT: For people to be giving thoughtful answers thumbs down is just ******* annoying and rude. What if hat blood could save YOUR child from lymphoma???
3. It looks like it cost almost $2000. Here is the website where you can get pricing and more information. http://www.cordblood.com/cord_blood_banking_with_cbr/pricing_domestic.asp
