Many families confuse cord blood stem cell banking with embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells come for the embryo of a fetus. There has been much research and debate on the use of embryonic stem cells, and many people confuse those stem cells with the stem cells that come from cord blood. Cord blood stem cells come from the blood inside a baby's umbilical cord. Cord blood stem cells have been used in thousands of transplants all over the world and its potential to treat and save lives has been proven many times over. All religious faiths and all political parties that we are aware of support cord blood banking. Cord blood banking has nothing to do with abortions or right-to-life issues.
