"IIH I have it" (betsyknits)

MDJunction to me

"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support." (neshama48)

Did anyone, or is anyone donating their cord blood? I was just wondering because I was considering it, but the price may be the determining factor. How do you feel about that idea?

I have heard that you can just donate it for research purposes for free, however have not been able to find anything out about it. I think it'd be cool to bank it, but it's so expensive. If I can just donate it though I would love to. It's a great way to do stem cell research without all the controversy.
