Private Cord Blood Banking vs. Public Donation

Public Donation vs. Private Cord Blood Banks
List of Pros and Cons

Deciding on a cord blood banking method is not easy. There are many factors to consider when choosing what is right for your family. Below you will find a list of pros and cons for each type of cord blood bank.

Public Cord Blood Banks - Pros:

1) Accept free donations

2) Strive to provide suitable cord blood to help people in need free of charge.

3) They provide stored cord blood for medical research (sometimes at a profit).

Public Cord Blood Banks - Cons:

1) Like any transplant, finding a suitable match can sometimes be a challenge.

2) There is no guarantee that the cord blood you donated or a suitable match will be available if a family member should need it.

3) Even if a match is found, there is a higher chance of rejection when receiving cord blood from non-relatives.

Private Cord Blood Banks - Cons:

1) For genetic diseases, a transfusion using a person’s own cord blood may not be sufficient.

2) There is a fee for collection and storage.

3) Doesn’t serve the “greater good”.

Private cord blood banks- Pros:

1) Allow you to bank your baby’s cord blood exclusively for your family’s use.

2) If your child will need a stem cell transplant in the future, there will be no need to search for a suitable donor.

3) If a family member will need a stem cell transplant in the future, there is a higher chance that your baby’s cord blood will be a suitable match.

Take your time to discuss and weigh out all of your cord blood banking. Both public and private banks offer your family a service that helps to secure your child’s health.

Read a complete pros and cons list for public and private cord blood banking.
