If you're like most moms-to-be, you've been inundated with private cord blood banking advertisements and have asked yourself if all the hype is really worth all the dollars. As parents, we want to do everything we can to safeguard our children's future, but it's hard to discern fact from fiction with the information out there. UT Southwestern and Children's Medical Center pediatric hematology-oncology physician, Dr. Paul Harker-Murray, breaks down the supporting science in a presentation to other doctors. In this video, learn why donating your baby's cord blood to a public bank is a more practical option than private cord blood banking.

  1. This video was one of the many first that didn't make me feel guilty should I decide not to bank my babies cord blood. However based on the data for African Americans like myself I feel as though doing so may someday be in the favor of my child.
  2. how many people can one bag help? and which family members?
  3. cordblood publicly is not free... this is laughable. .. public donation centers charge for cordblood use ... this guy is dated ... personal treatment is used way more than he shares...
  4. Everyone needs to see this!
  5. Great content. The video quality, especially slides, are poor quality - it would be great to include a link to the slides for reference.
  6. This is the best presentation I could get on cord blood banking which puts a very fair perspective uninfluenced by private cord blood bankers
  7. I think this video is subjective, informative, and provides statics that have been useful for myself. Very good presentation.
  8. I am shocked that this video does not have more views.
  9. I was very much misguided like others... Thanks for this video.
  10. This is such valuable information. I am currently looking into undergoing Stem Cell Therapy for Rheumatic Disease/Rheumatoid Arthritis &'am
  11. Thanks for video.... Blood bank won't accept my twin cord blood collection for public use.... Very sad
  12. Thanks so much,
