​Not too disagree with the notion it might not be at sometime, but
   currently?  No.  Also, not disagreeing with the notion of how it will
   be abused.
   In fact I don't think any jurisdiction anywhere currently requires or
   even recommends any storage of cord-blood.  Would be nice if they did
   actually - it's a very useful thing to have for one's future.

     All states already require permanent cryobanking of
     neonates' cord-blood; how soon before we start
     screening it for diseases-to-be, all in the name
     of universal-risk-pooling which will be oh so surely
     couched in paternalistic common good (Obamacare)?
