      I just skimmed the beginning of the article.

      I’m retired for almost 7 years now, and I remember my OB patients banking cord blood for years before that. I’m surprised at the number that the BBC quotes in the United States is only 3%. In my experience, it seemed much higher.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        We’ve been spending quite a bit on storing Finley’s. We feel badly about not storing Lucas’s but it was more than we could afford in the early 2000s…

          We did it for the boy but I'm not sure how necessary it is with all the progress on IPSCs.

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            I worry a little about the community banks. If a child winds up with a genetic disorder, is the community cord blood bank going to be alerted and have the blood disposed of?
