Blood banks store human blood in a freezing rectangular container. These blood will be paid or be given to any people who are victims of road accidents and who are sick with blood diseases. Mothers are encouraged to donate or store their newborn's umbilical cord after their delivery. The umbilical cord contains rich stem cells and it can cure any kid who have leukemia, brain tumor and other fatal diseases.
