Some families pay thousands of dollars to store their children’s stem cells with the hope of a healthier future for them. But Sarah Kliff, an investigative health care reporter for The New York Times, explains that the cells are rarely useful and are sometimes contaminated.

And they don’t store any for the woman and her children to use.
I have both of my children’s cord blood stored. I pay $500 combined a year for storage. Yikes.
God bless you😢
Sounds like you need to ensure that the bank has your children’s blood AND that they aren’t selling the stem cells.
stem bank i am thinking to use as for my kid has only one time fee of 725 USD (75000 inr) for 75 years, they are giving insurance linked to stem cell treatment only worth 20 lakh inr (22000 USD), family of 8 immediate members is covered under it, i feel its not a scam as its one time fee, if contamination happens they are laible to pay 22000 USD (20 lakh inr) to the family. only thing that they dont cover is natural calamities (loss or contamination). I kinda feel that this wont be a scam as it also has necessary FDA etc approvals. if needed processing and delivery is also covered by them. (national or international)
They are selling it for billions to stem cell company’s and skincare industries
Someone telling the actual truth. Its all business…
