I noticed that you recommend 18 years old or older. How does this differ from a company like Cord Blood Registry[1] which evidently takes and stores cells from the umbilical cord? Your lifetime plans are attractive and your company opens up the possibility of storing stem cells (and their blue-sky future healing promises) for children who missed out the first time. A comparison could help others decide and migrate over once their kids are 18. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_Blood_Registry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_Blood_Registry

As mentioned above: >The cell populations are actually quite similar; there are both mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cells in cord blood and bone marrow. In many ways, our service is 'cord blood banking for adults'. However, unlike a cord blood bank, we are developing potential rejuvenative therapies using these cells. >A comparison could help others decide and migrate over once their kids are 18. We have considered this possibility.
