Cord Blood Donation or Private Banking
- With the celebration of a baby’s birth- increasingly parents are being asked what
they would like to do with the cord blood. Would they like to save it for their
child or give it as a gift of life to another?
Most people with decent from wonderful cultures around the world such as Asian,
African American, Latino and others are not able to find a fully matched bone marrow
donor. As a result, many of them have to live with diseases or die from diseases
that might otherwise be treated with a Stem Cell Transplant.
I have 5 things people with multicultural children may want to know about cord blood
and cord blood donation or private banking.
-
Stem cells are not science fiction. The absence of ethical concern and the unlimited
supply of cells explains the growing interest in using cord blood for developing
regenerative medicine. Like a starfish can grow a new limb- stem cells grow into
what doctors need to help patients and umbilical cord stem cells are the and best
source of stem cells (because they are new and fresh). They are lifesaving liquid
gold.
Parents can either publically donate to others or privately bank stem cells on
behalf of their children. Increasingly parents in California will be given the
option of saving their baby’s umbilical cord blood for private use or public
donation after birth.
StemCyte is a global leader in Cord Blood storage and research and has a lab in
Taiwan and the US and it is accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of
Cellular Therapy (FACT). They have world renound doctors and experts who can answer
questions for you.
Here are a few things parents should know.I can expand on all points.
1.Ethnic and mixed diversity is a problem in the cord blood donation registry.
2.If a family is ethnically blended and has a family history of certain diseases, it
is a good recommendation for the parents to save the newborn’s cord blood and tissue
in the event a family member or sibling is affected with the illness.
3.Parents also need to understand the promise that publically donating or privately
banking their child’s own cord blood hold for regenerative medicine in treating
cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and many other diseases
that currently have no medical therapies available. Cord blood research scientist
are now saying that in the future 1 in 3 people will look to stem cells from cord
blood and cord tissue to repair or regenerate damaged organs and disease.
4.Cord blood education and awareness isn’t just for expectant mom’s…..Parents and
grandparents need to teach and educate their families, friends and children about
the lifesaving, medical benefits surrounding saving cord blood.
5.Expectant parents can start making the decision to privately bank, publically
donate, or donate their baby’s cord blood for research during the second trimester.
If an expect mom wishes to donate she must fill out the health criteria paper work
by the 30 to 34th week to qualify for public donation or donation to research.
