Cord Blood America Supports Effort in Congress to Inform on Value of Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Storage
Posted on: Thursday, 30 April 2009, 04:00 CDT
The legislation requires a standard process for health care professionals to confirm that expectant parents have been informed about cord blood banking options.
"The more parents know about how umbilical cord blood stem cells have been used to successfully treat life-threatening cancers including leukemia and lymphoma, and the more education there is about how these stem cells are being studied to treat diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, brain injuries and other major conditions, the more likely is it that parents will make an informed decision on the storage of stem cells at birth," said
