March of Dimes Optimistic Re: Umbilical Cord Blood's Value

The March of Dimes notes that cord blood stem cells can be used to treat at least 45 recognized medical issues and advises those with family histories of these diseases to strongly consider banking umbilical cord blood.

They also note that the lack of clear guidelines and standards for cord blood banking must be addressed. Currently, there are no universal standards governing the storage of umbilical cord blood. The FDA is considering the matter.

Excerpt:

"The March of Dimes is optimistic about the treatment possibilities using umbilical cord blood, and is assessing research results that, thus far, seem promising. However, expectant parents should be well informed so that any choice is based upon sound advice and medical evidence."
