It seems to me that we have a cordlife supporter in here.. Just do your due diligence. I quote from a TODAY article published in 2016.

The SCBB has facilitated 191 transplants since 2006. The low rate of use for privately banked cord blood is partly because most transplant physicians do not always view the patient’s own cord blood as the best choice.
