Preserving stem cells in a private bank

in

This month I'll deliver my baby and I'm still in doubt wheather I should preserve stem cells in a private bank or not.

Pro: 
  • stem cells MIGHT help him in the future, in case he has to deal with blood related diseases
  • I can be more rest assured that I have done anything in my power to protect him:)
Con: 
  • the cost is considerable, including an initial collection fee and ongoing maintenance fees
  • the chance that your child will use his or her own banked cord blood in the future is remote
  • there's no guarantee that his banked cord blood will remain viable or be suitable for a transplant, in case he needs it
