cord banking (stem cell theraphy)

Anyone of u planning for cord/ cord blood banking? The umbilical cord and placental blood is processed to extract and store stem cells.
These stem cells can then be used tp cure various ailments. Is this a common trend in your countries?

My dr office had me fill out the paperwork for blood banking, it turns out they wanted me to pay $7000 for them to store the chord blood to use for myself or my family and it's free if I donate for someone else to use. I opted to donate
