​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)?
