1. Volume reduced or whole blood? Which is better method? Thanks
2. Great video, thanks for posting. This is why my wife and I donated, and why we chose to bank our child's cord blood. We went with Genecord, a private facility. The people there were great, it's been around for decades so you know it's stable, and it was far more affordable than most. I think donating and banking cord blood will be universal soon enough.
3. how do i use this video? is there copyright to it?
