BBC Reports Story Critical of Cord Blood Banking

The BBC reports on an announcement by British experts critical of the cord blook banking industry here.

Although one may take exception to some of the argument, it does show just how controversial the cord blood banking industry has become in the UK.

Excerpt:

"Thousands of couples have already paid up to £1,500 to store samples which could potentially be used in the treatment of disease.

But a Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists report said there was "insufficient evidence" to recommend the practice."
