DescriptionDespite the fact that the preservation of umbilical cord blood stem cells is put into effect, there has not been sufficient awareness of the cord blood banking procedure and its important role in the treatment of many serious illnesses. Our objective is to diminish this lack of knowledge and to promote the means of educating each parent about the uses, benefits, and various options behind cord blood banking. By trying to get legislation passed which enforces that each pregnant woman must consent to whether or not she wishes to preserve her cord blood, there will be more women venturing out to learn about the aspects of cord blood banking – in effect making the right conscious decision for her child or others prior to the time of delivery. Moreover if cord blood banks collaborated themselves with certain hospitals, then it will also initiate more awareness and make the preservation process, possibly that of public banking, easier and widely accepted among pregnant women.
