Think about it. Every newborn could have their own umbilical cord blood frozen and stored for future use at very little relative cost.

Obviously no money in that, best keep it quiet.

I think it costs $3000-$5000 and you can do it today.

They’d charge a fortune for storage and maintenance, that’s all.

And the shipping and handling should it ever be required....

Add tax to subtotal....

Here’s an excuse to have more kids. Have a baby, possibly save older siblings and parents and grandparents and strangers ...
an appeal to selfish altruism.

There are now lots of choices for umbilical cord blood banking. Plus in California and perhaps some other places, the state will pay the costs.

If you're having a baby or you know somebody who's having a baby, please consider this simple, potentially lifesaving option.
