And you are definitely correct that more education about cord blood banking is necessary. At some level it comes down again to a logistical problem. Private cord blood banks charge a substantial amount of money for their services, and public banks are only available at certain hospitals. Even still 3% is a low number compared to what it could, and may would argue, should be. RCarlson-

Private cord blood banks do not store embryonic stem cells and, to my knowledge, public blood banks don't either. Cord blood is a source of immature adult stem cells, not embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells come from lab developed or aborted fetuses. Embryonic stem cells have not yet been found to treat any diseases though this could be a potential in the future. Cord blood stem cells are currently being used to treat 70 plus diseases. Only 3% of births result in the storage of MNCs/stem cells from the cord blood, the other 97% is discarded. Only through education will this percentage increase and there is room, and need, for both private and public banking. Good, concise reporting with a minor correction.
