Will you help? Trying to find answers for both expectant parents who may bank and those with children who have banked a baby's cord blood. Some decide it's not worth it after learning the cord blood will not be used to treat leukemia. They would like to know if they can donate the cod blood to a place which facilitates research to benefit people with Down syndrome. Thanks. http://downsyndromepregnancy.org/
