apparently the founder of Anja Health said that she launched it after her sibling almost drowned and needed it, so maybe it make sense even without a predisposition?

If I had a kid and enough disposable income I'd do it without even thinking about it to be honest

hello! founder of Anja Health here :)

Yes, it makes sense without a predisposition. Things like HIV with the woman cited in the article, cerebral palsy due to a near drowning accident, etc. could all be use cases. Our own team has a sales exec who used stem cells for a knee injury he got in track & field in high school. Another has a grandfather who used it for dementia.

BTW, a lot of our clients self identify as having <75k in income. Our pricing is 35-85/mo. for 8 years to cover 20 years of storage. :D so hopefully you don't need to allocate too much disposable income. It's still an investment for sure, but many think it's worth it. Myself included obviously haha
