Petition Make placenta and cord donation optional at all hospitals!

By donating your cord blood after the birth of your baby you could save someone's life. Any ladies can donate stem cells by giving away their umbilical cord and placenta after you have given birth. Stuff that's usually just put in a clinical waste bin and incinerated really could save a life.

The only issues to this are only certain centres in the UK are using the fairly new scheme.
