Cordlife vs. Stemcord

It is time again to decide whether we should store our baby's cord blood. Right now in Singapore, there are three organisations storing cord blood - Singapore Cordblood Bank, Cordlife and Stemcord.

For storing of cordblood in the Singapore Cordblood Bank is free, but the bank does not retain the cordblood for the owner. It can be used for any one who needs it. As for Cordlife and Stemcord, we can but have to pay for the storage fee besides the first time payment for the lab test and extraction. So to play safe, we decided to pay in case one of these days our kids really need it.

After thinking through, I still decided to choose Cordlife due to its accreditation to AABB. Health is something money cannot buy.
