In the US, only about 2% of parents bank cord blood due to a huge awareness issue (that 2% is concentrated in wealthy, urban areas - think Greenwich, Beverly Hills, Upper East Side). In Singapore, however, rates can be as high as 30%, and in certain areas of China it's at around 10%. The greatest barrier in the US is for sure awareness and secondarily pricing, so we're working on trying to lower costs. When you first read this post, what was your first reaction? What are you most curious about?
We found it was quite common, and for the prices we paid (which are significantly cheaper than this startup - YMMV) it was a no brainer.
I was not convinced on the science today, but when it is cheap I figured that it is worth a punt on the assumption that science will improve in the next two decades. If not you've only spent about as much as a new Mac book Pro (from most providers) so worth the gamble.
