Abstract

This chapter explores the subject of public and private cord blood collection and storage and tries to answer some of the frequently asked questions about these services. It provides specific advice for those people considering private cord blood banking and explains the pros, cons and practicalities of cord blood collection and storage. Private cord blood collection and storage has become an enormous business on a global scale, but it is extremely important that the clients of these private cord blood banks fully understand the exact uses and limitations of what is on offer. Ultimately private storage is a matter of personal choice and, of course, a matter of having sufficient money to pay for private cord blood storage.
