I felt want to understand more about stem cell and store it for my baby...
anyone stored & used stem cell for your baby or your family member before to cure decease?
so far i quoted:
CellSafe, Rm3700 (promotion price), SEPAX device, normal price RM4500 but 10% discount + free stoller with maybank card
StemLife, Rm4750 (promotion price), automated AXP processing
Cryocord, Rm4300 (normal price), normal processing; +RM600 for automated AXP device; +RM500 if store by vials
wondering is it worth to pay the amount to store stem cell up to 20years+, still deciding want to do get this services or not as getting more and more kids facing some deadly decease when first 10 years... the medical fees may cost a bomb...
I opt for Stemlife, 2 years ago when I signed up the package was somewhere 2.8k I think.anyone stored & used stem cell for your baby or your family member before to cure decease?

Reason I went for stemlife,
they're bigger company, financially more sound (I hope) chances of them being around after 20 years are higher.
I ask for track record, where they brought out stem cell to heal people, they show me a few cases, whereelse from cryocord, the sales team told me this is P&C and simply refuse to show me any cases where they've successfully thawed cell and heal people.
Stemlife has a package where (tai ket lai si) if kena any disease and need to take out cell, they will pay us cash from company RM100k and not claim insurance like cryocord, the differences is you can only claim once from any insurance, this one I ask my insurant agent and he confirm with me.
Another thing you need to know, stemcell store during birth can only protect your child till around 12 years old, when they're older they need more cell which you just dun hv enuf from bloodcord, unfortunately msia being islam country cloning is prohibited, you need to export your cell to countrys like taiwan or china for cloning, the price I heard is few 100Ks.
Another reason I opt for stemlife is they use bag storage which cryocord use vial, bag is better coz you dun risk contamination.
I think if you can afford it, its good to store stemcell, in case (tai kat lai si) you still has a chance, money wise will cost a bomb, can always put in newspaper for public help but money alone wont do the trick if you dun have the ingredient.
