Additionally, i feel it is similar to having an insurance policy. The arguements against I’ve found a bit suspect. One the american pediatrics association mentioned was something to the effect of “only people who could afford it would do it so it’s really not right”. Well, I guess you could say the same about having insurance too. Public storage sounds like a great idea to me but I wasn’t able to figure out where and how to get some public storage to take my stem cells. For me, I would regret not doing it if we ever needed it. Hopefully, we never will.
