re: Future Daddy Here -- Cord Blood

Decided it wasn't worth it; the scenarios where it might be helpful just seemed too unlikely to be worth the money. It's basically useless for the kid, since the conditions would be present in the cord blood as well, so you're just banking it for a possible future sibling that might have a condition. Since we had no family histories of any of the diseases that might be treated, it just didn't seem worth it.

Yep, even if you keep it for a sibling, stem cells can be extracted from blood at any time. Stem cell donation is common and has replaced bone marrow donation in many cases.
