They have a brochure for umbilical stem cell banking on the front counter of every OB-Gyn office I have been in the past 10 years.

This is good! The first time I heard it it sounded like he was funding embryonic stem cell research. With him being a flaming liberal I just assumed it. This is good business. Nobody funds embryonic stem cells because they don't work. There is much research going into NON embryonic research. That is why the libs need the gubmint to fund their macabre death camps for embyro's.

This doesn't seem particularly advantageous for the consumer. Here in the States, you pay about the same amount for private banking, and you get the entire sample to yourself. As someone on this thread already noted, there isn't that much blood per sample, even if it can be taken (which sometimes it can't be, for technical reasons). Why is this Virgin model better? I don't see it.
