The popular television advice show The Doctors, features four practitioners from four different specialties who tackle health and medical issues for people of all ages. In a recent episode they field a question from a home viewer inquiring about storing her third child’s umbilical cord blood. OB/GYN Lisa Masterson begins by saying, “what I tell all my patients is it is not going to hurt the baby and it has life saving potential right now, and stem cell research is exploding right now!” Watch the clip yourself and hear more of her thoughts.
Many expectant parents pose this same question to their doctors while trying to evaluate the benefits of cord blood banking. If you, a family member or a friend is expecting, then pass along this video segment to help them get educated.
