After you replied to me from a yahoo group we have in common, I visited your site. I found this article helpful to me in the sense that one day, my daughter Breanna, whom is paralyzed from an MVA, will likely more than not, benefit from these stem cells. Her spinal cord injury was devistating, and yet there’s so much controversy on the topic of stem cell cloning. Great article, awareness is key. 🙂

Doctors shouldn’t clamp the cord until it stops pulsing, so that the baby gets as much as it can. This is true whether the cord blood is being collected or not. After the cord is clamped, there is usually plenty of blood left over for banking.
