Until recently it was believed that the umbilical cord once it had completed its function (when cut to separate the child from the placenta), good for nothing and without throwing it. Today, not always.
It is known that within the cord is a great treasure, the famous stem cells, which are used for transplants in some leukemia patients so they can heal them. Therefore, such a precious treasure not to be missed and launched banks umbilical cord blood.
In these banks, remains the donor's blood for him or his family can use it if it were the case. After delivery, you can donate or save the tiny amount of blood flow within the cord to help yourself or others, but must choose one or the other option, since you can not choose both.
There are diseases that can be treated with stem cells and if taken from the umbilical cord itself, are ideal because they are compatible with your body and do not cause any rejection.
