It may be worth it for an incredibly wealthy family with a history of genetic disorders, however it is not worth it for your average family, who cannot generally afford another such draining expense they have to find the money for, particularly not a good idea in a volatile job market. The average person will likely not need it. In addition there are other sources of stem cells, and they can't usually be used on an adult as there is just not enough material in the cord blood stem cells for that.
