The measure would provide $79 million in federal funding for the collection and storage of umbilical cord blood. It provides a total of $265 million for life-saving stem cell therapeutic therapy, cord blood and bone marrow treatment. The bill also reauthorizes the national bone marrow transplant system, combining it and the cord blood in the same database. (SOURCE: Life News)

In my very strong opinion, banking cord blood should not be controversial what-so-ever. In fact, due to benefits the cord blood may one day offer if ever necessary, banking it should become a requirement or automatic.
