Cord Blood Banking: Worth It?

By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel

ADVERTISEMENTS

As I indicated in Eduardo's post the other day about paternity leave, I'm thrilled and a bit nervous about the prospect of becoming a dad later this summer--blogging has thus fallen a bit as I try to take care of a number of loose ends both in and outside my professional life, e.g., buying a four door car (Accord or Odyssey? Camry or Siena? Hybrid or worry about the EMF radiation?)



One thing I figure the Prawfs crowd of readers has probably considered is the issue of preserving the baby's cord blood. What say y'all on whether it makes sense to do? I posted this quandary earlier on Facebook today and most of the six people or so who have responded (including the wife of my cousin/doctor) have said it's an enterprise basically aimed at preying upon anxious parents (who me?) at vulnerable times with very little prospect of benefit.  Apparently the academy of pediatricians agrees. What do you think? Disagree? Please feel free to post links in the comments to help nervous nellie parents to be. Thanks.  And feel free to weigh in on the respective car choices too...
