Sorry, this is not insurance as there is no guarantee the cord blood u store is suitable for use in the end.

Only blood related disease . Mum and kid sure can use. But dad and kid may not be suitable

Hmmmmm... I’m not sure where you are getting this info from. But it’s not exactly true. Also in the event you require this kind of treatment, usually the amount of cord blood you store is way not enough. Still have to source for extra.

We spend like $6k and more. But really think is useless

It really is useless
Bigger scam than any insurance!

If your kid would had any bone marrow disease hor it means his genetics was defective to begin with anyway. So cord blood also carry the same defective gene right? You transplant his cord blood back to him then won’t cure any disease.

You only insure on your 2nd kid in case he’s born with blood disorder then you use 1st kid cord blood to cure him hoping the matching is higher than anyone else in SG
BUT scientist would tell you bone marrow matching all over the world gives even higher compatibility. That’s why I say cord blood donate out best to help others

Pls go and donate. Me and my wife did. To think about it, my son did his good deed when he just born by donating his cord blood. we got a cert from it and when he come to age to understand, i will let him know that when he born, he also helping others.
