EBB 346 - Uncovering the Facts about Private Cord Blood Banking with Journalist Sarah Kliff

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker and investigative journalist Sarah Kliff of The New York Times explore the intricate world of cord blood banking. Sarah shares insights from her article, "Promised Cures, Tainted Cells," which explored cord blood banking practices, their marketing claims, and the stark contrast between public and private banking systems. Together, they discuss:

The differences between public and private cord blood banks
Marketing tactics and their impact on parents
The decline in the medical utility of cord blood over the last decade
Ethical concerns, such as contamination, low stem cell counts, and hidden collection fees

Sarah also shares the stories of families who invested in private banking, only to find their samples unusable when needed. This episode sheds light on the decisions surrounding cord blood banking and provides a look at the system's pitfalls. Join us at the EBB Conference (virtually) this March by registering here!
