It is not a plot or an evil plan. The loss occurs due to a lack of knowledge about the value of the blood in the umbilical cord.
Stem cells produce blood cells that fight infection, carry oxygen and promote healing.
Blood in the umbilical cord is a rich source of stem cells. Stem cells from umbilical cord blood have been used successfully in treating leukemia, Hodgkin's disease and lymphomas. Stem cells are always a perfect match with the child from whom the umbilical cord blood was collected. They also provide no less than a 1 in 4 match for siblings. Finding a bone marrow match can be time consuming.
