I donated all three of my girls umbilical cords and placenta. I also had the option of "banking" it with a private company should we ever need it. I've read that a large percentage of umbilical cords and placenta's are trashed after delivery. I find that unfortunate since the research in this area is so promising. I am personally pro-life, but do support the research on stem cells from the afterbirth of a delivery (not that we would ever be able to differentiate then from those of an aborted fetus).
