CBA Letter to the Editor of the NYT, In Response to July 15 Article on Cord Blood Banking

On July 15, 2024, the New York Times (NYT) published an article about cord blood banking which was biased and reported negative information about family cord blood banking and also minimized the value of cord blood as a donor source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The CBA has responded by submitting a letter to the editor, (limited to ~200 words by the NYT) which is under review by the New York Times staff and we are hopeful it will be published. In addition, we are planning to submit an Op Ed to present unbiased and accurate information about the status, uses, and future of cord blood banking in the near future. Please let us know your thoughts and suggestions for subjects to cover in the Op Ed submission by emailing [email protected].

Information for Expectant Parents

Parent Information for Cord Blood

Expectant parents are faced with important decisions, even before their baby is born. One of the most important is a life-altering decision about whether to bank their baby’s umbilical cord blood, or donate it to help others. If the precious stem cells in cord blood are not banked, they are discarded as medical waste.

There’s no one choice that’s right for all parents. But health care professionals and parents have developed guidelines to help with the decision.
