Stem cell collection
Hi all
Just wondered if anyone is thinking about stem cell collection? we cant really afford it (its about ??1500) but what if we live to regret it????

I agree with redpod - I'm sure the technology isn't there yet to actually use them anyway (I likened it to cryogenics too when we discussed it!) Also, I thought the research says you wouldn't actually need to use your own stem cells (not that you can use any of them anyway!) so I have a feeling it's all a bit of a con.
I can understand people wanting to invest in something which may help their child in the future but I've not read or heard anything to convince me that this is worthwhile. I'd rather invest the money in my children's university fund which is far more likely to benefit them!
But each to their own. Don't be put off if you really want to do it. Just make sure you've researched it thoroughly.
