Comments to CBS Cord Blood Piece Interesting

"These days pregnant mothers are asked a question barely heard of ten years ago: Do you want to save your baby's umbilical cord blood?"

That's opening for a CBS News (NY) story on umbilical cord blood banking. The piece itself is your standard "overview" of banking cord blood. The run-of-the-mill reporting mentions the potential medical benefits of cord blood banking and also discusses the expense involved in the banking process.

More interesting than the news itself if the long series of comments that follow it. If you'd like to know what other people are thinking (and writing) about umbilical cord blood, it's definitely worth reading the reaction to this online CBS report. You can find the material here.
